A member asked:
I had a ultrasound (pelvic+pregnancy)this morning and she had me lay on my side for part of it i've had lots in the past but never on my side. why?

Position the baby: This is quite common actually. As you well know, babies are constantly moving or sometime napping when your exam is performed. Technologists will perform different maneuvers, such as lying on the side to get the baby to move so they can image parts that are obscured by other anatomy.
