Baby's position:

Nowadays mom worry a lot about my position. She tries to find out how I am lying inside her. But mum you need to understand that I love playing here all the time..I also donot understand which side is top and which is bottom..
I have heard there are different orientations of a baby possible and depending on that they are named differently.

Normal Position Of The Baby
Normal Fetal PositionThe term "fetal presentation" refers to the part of your baby's body that is closest to the birth canal. In most full-term pregnancies, the baby is positioned head down, or cephalic, in the uterus.

Breech PresentationIf your baby is breech, his bottom is the part of his body closest to the birth canal. No one is sure what causes a breech presentation, but it happens in 3% to 5% of single-baby deliveries.

As your pregnancy nears full term, your caregiver will check your baby's position during regular prenatal visits. Common methods for assessing fetal position include vaginal exams, feeling your abdomen, and listening to the baby's heartbeat with a Doppler device.

Types Of Breech Presentation
There are three types of breech presentation: complete, incomplete, and frank.

Complete breech is when both of the baby's knees are bent and his feet and bottom are closest to the birth canal.

Incomplete breech is when one of the baby's knees is bent and his foot and bottom are closest to the birth canal.

Frank breech is when the baby's legs are folded flat up against his head and his bottom is closest to the birth canal.

Complications of Breech
Prolapsed Umbilical CordA prolapsed umbilical cord is common in breech deliveries. This happens when part of the umbilical cord slips down through the cervix before the baby does. The cord is then compressed during contractions, which cuts down on blood flow to the baby. An emergency cesarean section is usually needed.

Correcting Breech
External VersionIf you're near term and your baby is breech, your doctor may try to manually move him into a head-down position for delivery. There are two ways to do this: During an external version, the doctor moves your baby by pressing on the outside of your belly. During an internal version, the doctor inserts his hand through your vagina and cervix and moves the baby from the inside.

If your doctor can't manually reposition your baby, a cesarean section may be needed.

Other Presentations
Posterior PresentationIf your baby is in a posterior position, his face is turned up toward your belly. This can make labor longer and more difficult, since the widest part of his head has to fit through the birth canal.

You may be able to help your baby rotate into a normal, face-down position by getting on all fours with your bottom in the air, which allows your uterus to drop forward. Your doctor may also try to reposition your baby by reaching in through your vagina and gently rotating his head with his hand or forceps. If none of these methods works, a cesarean section may be needed.

Other Presentations
Transverse LieIf your baby is transverse, he is lying horizontally in your uterus. Your doctor may try to manually turn him into a head-down position, but a cesarean section is usually needed.

Make baby move in Ultrasound:

Its not my fault!
I was feeling a lot tired and sleepy on both days!

My momma went for the anomaly scan on Friday and for a repeat one on Saturday to see the cardio as on first day doctor could not see the heart properly.
They tried to move me a lot..momma had something to eat and walked and walked..but i was feeling so sleepy that i didnot have the energy to turn around for a detailed view of my heart. Momma and pappa both were very eager and anxious to see the heart details. Mom was even annoyed at me ;) for not turning properly to show the front.

But think my condition.. previous day i was playing and was awake the whole night and was feeling so sleepy next day that could not resist sleeping. Also as momma due to having gestational diabetes has totally abandoned sugary items, I am even more tired and didn't have the energy to turn round. Mom have some chocolates before going for a scan! That will make me happy and hyperactive :)

Next day momma is planning to have all sweet items before she goes for an ultrasound!Good mom good! I am feeling active from now only with the idea of having a nice big chunk of chocolate, one plate of sweet dessert, one glass of orange juice, and some hot chips at the end of these..hee hee...
obviously you don't need the whole lot of sweet items to get me going..i was just kidding ;)

But momma have a look at the following facts before going to the ultrasound..these are opinions of some expert moms who had their babies get going and moving in their womb during an ultrasound..try to follow any one of their advices.

Advice 1:
I drank some of a soda and ate a piece of chocolate... and that worked for me... hopefully you can get the baby moving!

Advice 2:
i drank juice and she still slept! maybe try having some chocolate

Advice 3:
Don't worry about it, just go in with a full bladder.. and the doctor can push him/her around to get a good pic!! good luck!!

Advice 4:
I always drink a glass of tea before my appt. I think the sugar and caffeine get her moving better than anything else I've tried. lol

Advice 5:
I drank a chocolate milkshake. Between the chocolate and the cold it worked!

Advice 6:
I ate candy and drank juice before my ultrasounds and my boy was not shy at all. The tech told me to eat anything that gets your little one moving, some women it's sweets others it's pizza etc. So I would suggest eating whatever makes him/her move the most beforehand. Hopefully he/she will show you what they've got. Good luck!

Advice 7:
I drank tea and my lil one was very active and we got to see what she was finally after 4 ultrasounds. I wish i would have done it sooner

Advice 8:
I'm awful so you probably shouldn't take my advice! Haha. But I drank a cup of coffee in the morning, then I had peanut butter on my toast, drank tons of water all morning, had a coke on the way to my appointment and had a lollipop when I got to the office. Madelyn was a freakin spaz but wasn't quite cooperating at all, every position we wanted her ot be in, she would do the opposite! But it was funny, she was having a gymnastics glass in my womb!

Advice 9:
I drank a caprisun (normally don't like them) because of the sugar...he was ALL over the place! The tech even made a comment =)

Advice 10:
I drank some soda, which worked....but a little too well. LOL He ended up moving so much that they weren't able to get all the measurements and what not that they needed....so I spent like a week or so worrying that there was something wrong with my baby cause I had to have another u/s so close to my last one. (2 weeks later it was, but I didn't find out that anything could be wrong until a week before the second u/s.) It freaked me out, but everything turned out ok!! Good luck momma!

Advice 11:
Drink a soda and a candy bar- not your doctor's choice for healthy snack LOL, but it helped get my baby moving.
