Legs!!!

Today was my anatomy scan, everything looks great!! BUT??!!!!! I couldn't find out the gender today because my baby had its legs clinched shut! What can I do next time I go in for another gender scan to get the legs open?  Did this happen to anyone else? If so what did you have? I appreciate the advice.

The ultrasound tech did a good job she had me moving and switching to me sides and still my baby wanted to be stubborn. She would poke at my belly and my baby would kick back but would not open its legs lol. Looks like I got a stubborn one ladies lol. But wouldn't want it any other way. Can't wait to tell my baby how stubborn it was lol ;) thanks again everyone

Both of my girls gave the tech problems seeing the gender so I didn't know for a few weeks after my 20 week scan. This pregnancy my girl had her legs slightly less crossed so we were able to see sooner but we didn't know the first girl was a girl for sure until about 30 weeks. My boy let his all hang out though so we knew that early lol.

My little guy was doing the same thing, the doctor had me lay on my right side at one point, so he would move. Then she had to tilt the bed back just to get him to move again. But hes definitely all boy :) if none of the things other people suggest. Try mentioning moving around on the bed for them
