Not much movement in ultrasound

Is it normal if the baby doesn’t move much during ultrasound scan? I had my 12 week scan recently and the sonographer was struggling to get the measurement as my baby was not straightening the body. Eventually did but it took quite a while. Sonographer or gynae didn’t highlight anything about it so I guess it’s normal? Is it?

It is normal. Sometimes they can be sleeping or just not active. However, if during ultrasound you have question you can ask along the way. The screen will show all the body parts, measurement that they are taking. Any doubt you are facing or curious to know do ask straight away. Sometimes you can also eat something sweet or have breakfast,etc to ensure baby move and be active. Talk to them etc.
