Ultrasound

We have our sex US on Wednesday...finally!! I'm almost 22 weeks already. I want to make sure this baby is a moving for that visit. Does anyone recommend drinking or eating anything in particular before I go?

 

For a period of time, I had weekly ultrasounds with my twins. For me, a glass of orange juice before my appointment usually did the trick. Good luck with the US!

 

I drank some diet cola, or Oj. Neither worked for us, our baby is stubborn like the rest of us!!

 

With the twins I had 2x a week monitoring and always had ice water and some sort of protein to get them going. I noticed the protein seemed to make a difference. Kashi cereal is real high in protein so it was usually that or turkey.

 

Make sure baby isn't moving too much...lol!!! Goodluck wth your appt...I bet you are excited to find out! I went for a 3D/4D scan at 20 weeks and they told me to have some OJ about 20 mintues before. Well, it was right before Halloween and we had Snickers bars around thehouse...I had a HUGE glass of OJ and a full size Snickers bar (just b/c it sounded good) and she was moving TOO Much! We got a good shot and found out she was a girl, but she was going nuts!

 

They always gave me juice at my apt to help make the baby move and it worked everytime.
