Something sugary should do the trick. If you are far enough along to feel your baby moving, then try to schedule your ultrasound during his/her active time.
Ultrasounds are so much fun

well she is usually really active at night ! like at 830 ish so they cant do it then it's too late, but im going in at like 430 today i went yesterday and she was sleeping it was 11 am ! my boyfriend told me not to do it becuase he didnt want to waste that money on the 3 d. but my mom paid for it and he would rather wait to see her when shes born.

Have a sugary snack about 30 minutes before your appt. Your baby may not cooperate, but you never know.

Sorry your b/f is being a poop. Some guys just don't get how exciting it is. I bet when he sees the pic he'll love it.

Have fun

Try drinking some milk or juice about 10 minutes before. When they get you to do kick counts that's usually what they tell you: to drink milk then lie down on your side. I know that when I get a little bit hungry then eat or drink a little bit, my little karate kid starts doing backflips (at least it feels that way!!)

Good luck.

My sis just showed me her 3 d ultrasound pics. She is 11 weeks. Omg, so cute, so cute. Not sure what you can do to help the baby to be more active though. Good luck!
