    Awww! I am thinking the same thing as hj..
    Did you drink red cordial before you drank your water for the scan, or maybe some jelly beans

    Lol I know! The ladies at the scan were saying "I hope this baby is better behaved outside than inside!"

    Then when I was drinking my sweet tea in one of the waiting rooms, a mum with 7 children of her own came in. They weren't rude or anything, just being kids, but were very noisy. I thought "maybe I am grateful for one hyperactive child instead of 7." She was doing a pretty good job...probably used to wrangling all 7! :-)

    The ultrasound lady said I should have a chocolate bar before the next scan, in an attempt to get baby to move into a good position!

    I was a very active baby for my Mum and kicked a hole in her uterus...ended up being born 3 months prem. Let's hope mine doesn't take after me. :-O

    Hey Amanda - I had my morphology scan today - 2 hours!!!! We also have a very active Bubs who I think enjoyed teasing the very very patient sonographer! Bubs then curled up into a ball so small she had the opposite problem - it was quite hilarious - but tedious as we hit the 2 hour mark!! However lucky for us we eventually got the pics and measurements we needed!

    But I understand completely - I am a bit sore and tender after much poking and prodding!!

    Take it easy and relax!!

    Thanks Naomi - everyone in the room had a bit of a laugh but it is tiring lying on a hard table for that long, isn't it? Glad you got all the measurements you needed!
