Hi... i had an ultrasound and the tech used a vibrator to wake my sleeping baby up... "is that a safe method for the baby"????

Yes: Ultrasound has been used and studied in depth for more than 4 decades. It has no negative effects on the fetus. For a tech to get enough views of the babies body parts it may move the probe into a variety of positions and use other tricks to complete the study. It is no more invasive to baby than you rolling over in your sleep.
