I almost had to go back a second time. They gave me juice, made me lay on my tummy for a while, go to the bathroom, jiggled my belly. Finally i got up and did a bunch of toe touches and he finally moved in the right position. Haha.

They had me use the bathroom and do jumping jacks and run in place. My husband was trying hard not to laugh at me.

Aww..i know how it feels..My baby was also not co-operating at the beginning. Rather he/she was waving his hands and smiling(according to the doc)..

I was then asked to cough quite a few times and finally the doc tilted the bed so that my legs were higher than my upper body. And that did help.

On the positive side, you will get to see your baby again within a week! All the best for your next visit..
