3D - 2

What is the best way to get my baby to cooperate during the 3D ultrasound?

We went today to get our 3D ultrasound and our son wasn't awake and wouldn't let us see his face so all we got was legs..we get to go back in 2 weeks and try again, but I really want him to cooperate...what can I eat/do to make him alert? Any suggestions? Thanks The Tech tried to get me to lay on both of my sides too... he was just not going to show us his face lol

1. did the tech suggest you lay on your side instead? it worked for me , try some o.j right before going in also.
2. Before I did mine, the tech had me drink some soda It helped, my son woke up but then the cord was in the way so it defeated the purpose,lol. Try drinking some caffeine. It should get him moving, and switch positions on the table...good luck!
3. I always tried to drink juice before an ultrasound, my son seemed to be more active after a good bottle of apple juice.
4. Babies rarely cooperate AFTER they're born, why would you expect them to do it before?? lol - get used to it, and better luck next time!
5. They all look the same. Just download a picture of someone else's baby and pretend.
6. Well I hate to say it...but I went 2 times for my last child and they couldn't get it to wake up...And I tried OJ so for the third one I drank a Mountain Dew on the way to the doctors appointment....that was a waker-upper.
7. This is horrible but true :) I always drink mountain dew or espresso right before my ultrasounds.......... hee hee. Good luck!
8. the doc told me to drink a little caffeine, it worked
