Find out the s*x tomorrow, is there anything?

Question

is there anything I can drink or eat before hand to really make the baby hyper so it is moving all around, just in case it's shy. they told me to start drinking an hour before my appointment so I have a full bladder. should I drink orange juice? I don't normally drink soda but I could drink sprite it's got no caffeine in it. thanks for all your help. I'm so excited!

Answer 1

yeah they say caffein isnt good. eat a piece of candy. if that dont do it the pop will...

good luck

Answer 2

Orange Juice will usually do the trick! :)

Answer 3

nope there's nothing to help make the baby more active.the best thing you can do is have the full bladder because it props up the uterus so they can get a better picture of the baby

Answer 4

Drinking lots of water will make your bladder full and make it push the baby up where they can see it better.  As far as seeing what the s*x is, the person taking the test can push on your belly and make the baby move around so they can see better.  An experienced technician will more than likely be able to tell what it is. Mine had been wrong like only once or twice in 20 years! And they had a very popular practice.

Answer 5

Oh I didn't have to have a full bladder, they just told me to drink a bottle of orange juice and maybe a chocolate bar..

good luck, let us know!!!

Answer 6

Good luck tomorrow. I still drink a coffee every day but nothing gets my baby moving like cold orange juice - it's as if it was specially designed to get our baby moving.  

Answer 7

Good luck! Id say dont drink orange juice it might give you heartburn or make you sick. But drink water, or lemonade

Answer 8

I would suggest drinking water because the soda can upset your stomache, epsecially if you are not used to it. But yeah drink 32 oz of water and hour before the appt. and you should be good, I actually had to stop half way through my u/s and go to the bathroom because my bladder was too full lol. But they want you to have a full bladder because it makes the baby easier to see. Juice usually gets my little one going but I would suggest not trying to make him/her hyper. It makes it harder to get a good pic. Mine kept going crazy everytime the dr would but it on my belly to do the u/s, she hated it! well best of luck and congrats!

Answer 9

Mt. Dew and M&M's work really well. That or orange juice and some kind of chocolate if you don't want to do the caffeine. But the caffeine and sugar really gets them going, especially if you haven't had much caffeine.  

Answer 10

Answer 11

Oh wow I bet you are so excited.I was told to drink 32 oz. of water an hour before my app. so I would have a full bladder.By the time they saw me I was so ready to use the bathroom lol

Answer 12

You can drink orange pop to fanta orange i believe is caffeine free to, and yes this helps the baby move. Just make sure you eat something to, the baby is more active when your not hungry and have aten.

Answer 13

I had my ultrasound to find out what im having, and I thought that I should drink something other than water to get it hyper, but I didn't and the baby was moving way to much, I would wait and if they cant get a picture or a sight of it, you just have to make another appointment. Good luck with everythin and congrats!

Answer 14

Orange juice might do the trick. A doctor that my friend used for her son told her to drink 16 ounces of water and then drink just a few drinks of straight coke so the baby would be moving and so she could get all of the shots she needed. It must have worked because he was moving and they got everything they needed. With both of my pregnancies I've just drank water and they were both moving. So it really just depends on the mood they're in. Good luck
