anatomy scan question.

So I know it's also when they tell you the gender but how do you get your baby to show there goods lol I'm nervous that my child will be a brat and not do anything. How can they even see it? I'm a ftm and every time I get a ultrasound I get nervous my appt is on Thursday and I'm like do I have to eat candy and drink soda?? Or just go in and hope my baby will cooperate lol this is an active baby so hopefully he/she will be active Thursday. Fingers crossed it's a boy lol

Alot of people say eat sweets and drink some ting cold. I didnt have to because my daughter was such a wiggler all the time. Hoping with this second baby i wont need to do anything and he or she will just be happy to show us :)

With our 2 boys they let it all show this time I left the dr with a half answer bc she wouldn't move her legs, I went and got a 3d scan and she had to tap on my belly move her around gave me candy to eat and spent 20 min trying to get her to move but finally we got a clear view and at my 20 week scan she was easy to see bc I think she knew the cat was out of the bag lol

I would eat smth sweet 15 min before the appt and drink smth ice cold. Ice cold drinks wake them up and they start moving.

I don't go by morning sickness , I had It horribly with both my boys. This 3rd pregnancy has been completely different than my boys. Same with the heart rate lol I did do some old wives tales for fun though and they all said girl!

But I hate these doctors and nurses they are rude hopefully I get the one lady she's nicer I really want a boy a lot of ppl tell me it's going to be a boy but I'm just like it's going to be a girl. Usually they say girls take everything from you like acne and sickness but I haven't gotten anything I got sick maybe 3 times. So it's up in the air lol

Lol. Aww. Good luck. :) I personally recommend a little Mountain Dew. I don't like it, but it works for me! Also, as long as you've got a good tech in there, they will try everything to get the gender! My boy was being stubborn, so the tech had me roll on my side. As soon as I did that, viola! Boy parts. Lol. If they aren't really trying, tell them you really want to know and ask if you can get up for a moment or roll on your side. They will more than likely let you.
This is a happy time. :) Do you want a boy or girl?

If it's a boy oh girl they don't have a problem of showing lol. My 2 boys show us right away. & my daughter was to shy, she had her leg crossed then her feet lol she was being stubborn & finally at the end she showed us (:  
When you go you can eat a candy bar or something sweet like a smoothie, orange juice, just something to get them moving g (:
