Tomorrow I get to go in for my second ultrasound to determine the gender of my lil one. At the first one, we spent almost an hour trying to get "him" to move, to only catch a glimpse of what apparently is his "sack", but it wasn't enough to 100% confirm it. Before my appointment, I drank one of those Starbucks iced coffees you can buy at the store, AND some root beer. He kicked, but would not roll over, no matter how much we poked, shook, or I jumped around. Smh. Just like Daddy. STUBBORN. Lol.

Anyways... What are some good tips on trying to get Baby to move?

    Drink a mtn. dew an hour before you go. Never drink it on a regular basis being pregnant but my ob told me to for the next ultrasound because mine was the same way, sleeping. I did the next time and he put on a show for us! It was so cute.

    @jay_brad I usually just drink sweet tea & water. maybe a can of soda here and there, and I hardly ever drink coffee. Maybe twice since I've been prego. (21 weeks.) He's an active baby, but I'm worried he's not gonna show us the goods again.

    @BentleysMommy I hardly ever drink mt dew. Not really a big fan. The baby wasn't sleeping last time, he just wouldn't roll his lil self over. AND, he even put his hand between his legs and crossed them. It's like he knew! lmao.

    Yeah I'm not a big of it either but I drank it so he'd move. Awwh he's modest ;) My little booger let's it all hangout in the ultrasound! We were able to tell he was a boy at 13 wks instead of 20 so I got to shop early! Haha. But yeah, if you drink some before, he's guaranteed to be bouncing around in there.

    Lunges! I went for my US n my baby was facing down n back. They told me to try to go pee cuz the squatting motion helps them move. So i actually braced myself on the wall n did a few gentle squats n lunges. N he flipped! We gotta good view
