Stubborn baby!😅

Lol 🤣 I had the same thing happen at my 20 week scan. They gave me juice, made me roll from one hip to another. The tech then tried rubbing the wand around my belly - finally she grabbed part of my hips and shook them like Shakira. My husband was dying laughing and our son still just presented his butt to us. I'm going back for another scan this week so they can get the rest of the shots they need.

I had to shake my hips too at mine I was so embarrassed 😂😂😂

I started to apologize to the tech and laugh all at the same time 😅. We cracked up in the car that stubborn must be a family trait. Before the next scan I'm going to have some juice, put on some music and see if I can shimmy him awake a bit more lol. Mama Zumba over here!

My baby has been stubborn at EVERY scan. I move around, drink juices, do jumping jacks, EVERYTHING lol and she just stays snuggled up in a little cocoon the whole time. I even had to repeat my anatomy scan 3 separate times to get all the angles they needed. 😂

How funny! I wonder if it has any reflection on their little personalities already 🤔😅 atleast they’re happy and cosy in there!

I definitely think so! The technician kept saying “wow she’s probably gonna be so camera shy when she’s older” and I personally think she’s already stubborn like her daddy😂

This happened at my 12 week scan, baby wouldn’t move, was facing away from camera! Was told to jump, shake hips and everything and nothing would work! I lay down and she told me to shake my hips mid air side to side and finally it flipped around but didn’t see any wriggles! I must have a lazy baby too; although since 17/18 weeks it doesn’t stop moving now 😂 xx

😂😂😂 ohh I didn’t try wriggling mid air I might have to give that a go next time! Ours had no problem showing his bits in our gender video, gave them a little squat and everything. Just didn’t want us to see him!😅 xx

Aw cute! Xxx

not totally practical or ideal but try getting dad to blow raspberries quite hard on your stomach used to make my little one fidget around for ages 😅

Ahhh haven’t heard of that one! Will have to pre-warn the sonographer! 😅

I’m 33 weeks and I’m total had 8 scans and put it this way none have had a decent picture. She’s so stubborn I have tried everything to get her to move she’s having none of it. Last week for a growth scan and still wouldn’t move! I just hope she comes out easier than it is to have her picture taken🤦🏼‍♀️ good luck x

They’re already telling us that they’re the new bosses!🤣 She’s just a little camera shy, plenty of photo opportunities once she is out! Thank you & good luck with her arrival I’m sure it will be smooth sailing 🤞🏻 x

My baby was so stubborn at our 20 week scan! What’s usually an hour appointment max, took us three hours 😅

1 reply

Omg! 😱 I better expect the same and block off more time for my 20 week scan😂

We had two 20 weeks scans because of this and both times had to give up in the end, nothing would make little one move, was disappointing for my husband as it was the only scan he was allowed in to but not much you can do unfortunately xx

1 reply

Ahhh it is so disappointing isn’t it! We booked the private scan because our hospital still haven’t confirmed if he can attend the 20 week scan and he was having a hard time connecting. Still magical but not what he expected 😅 xx

Mine was at my 12 week scan. I ended up bending knees up on bed then thrusting pelvis up and down. It did the trick 2nd time around haha! So stubborn though x

Literally, in front of a male sonographer too 😂 x

The things we have to do!🤣

Let me tell u: as soon as they put the jelly on my belly my baby girl throws a FIT 😂😂. She does not like to be bothered at alllll. Then after the appts she always punishes me by kicking me soo hard lol. I already know she gone be a pain at all doc visits when she gets here so ima leave those appts to daddy

Oh she pouts at me. And hides her face. Boxes at my belly. Hides her hands. Turns over. Kicks me. And I see it all on the ultrasound 😂😂😂 @Casey

😂😂😂 I love it!! She’s got a little personality already. It’s probably all of our payback for being hard on our parents 😳 I was amazed that they could find ours gender because he was so stubborn but oh no when we watched the gender reveal video he was all for showing that. Nothing else 😒🤣

Every scan my daughter was sat mooning at us 🤣🤣🤣 she wassnt shy in there. God help me! Lol they had me in lots of side positions to scan properly.

This happened to me at both of my scans they even had me jogging up and down the corridor 😂 in the end they had to have me on my side with the bed having me head down as far as it will go to try reangle every thing

Literally me at 19 weeks ultrasound. This bum was face planted and wouldn't shift for anyone lol

I had exactly the same thing at my 12 week and then we did a private one at 17 weeks and she would not co operate! Had my 20 weeks scan 2 weeks ago and had to go back today so they could get measurements for her brain. I had a chocolate bar and some lucozade just before which seemed to do the trick and they managed to get what they needed just before she flipped over and wouldn’t move! So stubborn 😂 x

They’re cheeky little things already!😂 a lot of people seem to be saying fizzy drinks and chocolate helped. I did try a fizzy drink and sweets maybe I didn’t wait long enough. How long before did you have them?🤔 x

The lady at my private scan and then at my 20 week both said fizzy and chocolate which definitely seemed to work! I literally was eating and drinking on my way to the hospital 😂 x

Just had mine today and my bby girl was being so cute not cooperating at all it was my gender ultrasound

Congrats on the little girl! 🙌🏻😊

Mine did the exact same! She would actually kick them off of me.😂 shes still just as stubborn now lol

How funny🤣 my little boy seems to be pushing them away in the video too

I didn't get a pic of my baby until last week which was 25 weeks. We had tried 4 previous times before that.

😳!! I bet it was worth the wait however ☺️

Reminds me of my little lad he wasnt playing ball every scan. When we found out his gender it took a while as he decided to cross his legs, then in the different he wouldnt let them measure his head and legs. Proper little wriggle bum.

1 reply

Aww is he just as wriggly on the outside now?☺️

All my scans have been like this baby facing backwards and no intentions of turning around and legs crossed each of my last 2 scans. I have a private at home scan next week to hopefully find out gender hopefully baby cooperates 🥴😂🙄

Yup literally every ultrasound with my son! The only thing he would show was his boy parts! Lol 😆

I had my early gender scan today and I was told to do star jumps because my baby boy is stubborn too! My partner recorded me too🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂

I did! The ultrasound tec jiggled my belly I talked and my fiancé talked. Sometimes it worked and others it didn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mine is like that, he hates being messed with even now and I’m being induced tomorrow. He even kicks the midwives when their feeling my tummy. It’ll get easier though the further you get along

Update on my side we went back today to try a second time to get the shots we needed. I chugged some sugar, ate a piece of cheesecake and jumped around. We managed to get all the shots but one - little guy kept trying to eat his foot 👣 during the session. Since they couldn't get that last shot I now need to have an ultrasound at the hospital next week. The doctors said not to worry and I'm low risk but that momma worry is creeping up on me.

My son was stubborn at every scan. Either would hide what they needed to see or wouldn't stay still enough. Now he's 3 months old and doesn't stop wiggling until he passes out 😂 Nothing ever worked to get him in the right position except hoping for the best, but it does get easier the further along you get, they have less room to hide.

My daughter was the same way haha

I had a stubborn baby. When I had the ultrasound done. He had his hand on his feet. The person that was taking it had to push his hand away from his feet. He would not let her.

It took us 45 minutes because she would not stay still. The ultrasound tech would have to jiggle the camera on my belly and sometimes it would work others it wouldn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol I have my next one on Monday, they do mine every 4 weeks because I’m high risk.

Mine was super stubborn lol

Yup!! I’ve had to do 3 extra ultrasounds 😂 they say baby is going to really love tummy time ❤️

I had to go back twice for my 12 week scan and both times it took at least 45 mins as Bub just wouldn’t shift. Or would, and then go straight back to showing us it’s bottom 🤣 nightmare! But they got the images eventually. Got my 20 week next week so we’ll see whether it’s the same story x

Ice cold water helps :) but drink 5min before you lie down

Haha I had this the whole way through to the point we couldn’t tell the gender for soo long. I used to eat a cinnamon donut and go for a walk to get her to move around but it didn’t really work!

Ohhh noo😂😫 I think fizzy drinks, a little wiggle in the chair and a patient ultrasound tech was what worked for us. However, he’s still stubborn and now refusing to come out of me!!😆

Good luck! ❤️

I found drinking hot chocolate helped with scans x

I had no problems with getting the pictures. But my daughter kicked a few nurses.

Mine crossed her legs on the gender scan and hid her face on the anomaly scan😂

Mine refused to turn for the anatomy scan so had to go back a week later and she was being stubborn then too but for different body parts. At the end she didn't want to turn to show her spine for the growth ultrasound. She also decided to grace us 9 days late

My daughter wouldn't move for anything but my pregnancy now my baby won't stop 😂

Mine was the same! 😅 We arrived for the ultrasound at 9am and left almost 2pm! My Baby was always showing his back. The doctor asked me to leave and walk 3 times! I ate chocolates and jiggled. It was very hard to get a profile image. Finally on the 4th attempt she was able to get a profile image for about 30 seconds and the baby went on his back again! Very stubborn!

Casey hahah such cutie pie!!

My baby girl always trying to avoid to see her face see covered even see kicking me like to let us know that we are annoying her..

Oh my little . When we want to see the gender aswell my gosh how shy he is 😂 showing his bum bum to the nurse thats doing the scanner and like showing his sexy back . Its a lady nurse thats why his shy 😂

Yes! My baby is super active, doing somersaults and backflips during every scan. Most of our pics are of her back. I guess she’s camera shy just like her mama. 😆

My daughter tried to be born 3 months early. Doctors stopped my labor but expected me back soon to deliver. Was told not many preterm labors that are stopped go full term. Well my daughter was the exception. Not only did I make it full term but she was almost 2 weeks late. I had to be induced because she decided that since we wouldn't let her come when she wanted then she was gonna stay put

Took us 3 appointments to do all our anatomy checks at 20 weeks 😂 we left her sex a surprise until birth and I was so convinced because of her stubbornness she had to be a boy so through my whole pregnancy I kept saying “he” when talking about our little one so man oh man I was shocked when they showed me a little girl had popped out 😂

Mines has been exact same for every scan too hes a bugger 😅 xxx

Dude same thing happened to me for the NT scan LOL, and today I went in for gender and she was trying to get a profile picture and he/she would not budge… so I had to jump around, than he/ she stuck their tongue out at us once he/she complied 💀💀

Orange juice 30 minutes to an hour before your scans. My baby was stubborn too. I tried orange juice and it helped x

Both my kids were really really hard to scan. I had to reschedule an ultrasound with my first, because they just couldn't get a good enough look at her.

Definitely was my case but got lucky when I did a “private sonogram”. Baby did that every doctors visit then one week or maybe two I felt her sideways next doctor visit she was head down in the position needed for birth. Babies have plenty of room to move around but guess there’s a few that prefer that position.

Mine only wanted to show her bum or tummy, the first scan eventually we got a little wave but that was after almost every trick possible. Im sure they know when we want them to help is and behave for the scan
