I have my 16 week gender scan tomorrow.
And I’m nervous about baby having legs crossed or being stubborn as I’m travelling a hour by taxi to get there which is costing £100, obviously don’t want to travel so far and pay so much to get there to not find out the gender, so my question is does anyone have any tips to get baby moving and make sure baby doesn’t have legs crossed🤞 thankyou x

Not at a gender scan but when baby was not in the right place or angle I had to do jumping jacks to get some movement

Oh that's a good idea! Just hoping baby isn't being too stubborn tomorrow we have a 4 year old dying to know if she's getting a brother or sister lol

When I went for my 4D scan I was told to eat / drink something sugary about 30-60 mins before but I was 27/28 weeks then x

I'm guessing sugary things will work, I'll take a fizzy drink and chocolate bar for the journey and run up the stairs to the scan clinic and just hope for the best I suppose x

If you waited four weeks, you could find out for free!

My baby girl had her legs shut at my 16 week gender scan, the sonographer just did a little jiggle with the ultrasound probe and baby moved 🙂 x

I'm sure you will! They got my baby to move pretty easily and then got very clear shots and were certain she was a girl. Then confirmed at 20 week scan also 🙂

We only have a hour until the taxi driver has to leave to get back for school runs. So we have a hour to find out before we leave so I'm stressing lol

You've got this! I think my appointment was about 10 minutes and she did a little check all over baby for me in that time too

Firstly congrats 🥰 I also second something sweet and cold water! Cold water is what my midwife told me to drink to get the baby jiggling! Good luck!

karrliz · 06/12/2023 12:48

Also yes to the scan pic! I'm usually so good at guessing!
