Big Ultrasound - how to make sure baby shows "all"?

SPKA

Any advice on ways to make sure the baby is moving around enough so we can confirm the gender?  I've heard a bit of soda or some chocolate...any suggestions?

some women drink juice or eat sugary food to get baby moving- but even a moving baby may not show the goods.

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. Good luck!

Like the others said, no guarantees of anything, even with sugar or chocolate in your system.

I drank soda and baby was moving too much and we didn't get the money shot we wanted.

A little bit of caffeine just before my u/s and the baby wouldn't stop moving! Our baby is a mover anyway, but holy cow. We weren't finding out the sex, so not sure if all the moving would've helped or hindered that, but worth a try...

I drank a milk shake about half hour before appointment but I wasnt doing it on purpose, I just really wanted a shake. But it worked, she was moving and we got to see

I didn't do anything special. I just exercised and ate breakfast as usual before my morning appointment. My little boy was moving all around just from that, so I'm glad I didn't drink/eat something sugary.

i had a small glass of orange juice and she was moving around in there a lot- enough to get the cord between her legs 'n we almost weren't able to find out her gender! lol after her OJ rush she crashed 'n fell asleep

Well everything went well.  We're having a girl!  Even without eating anything to get the baby moving, she was all over the place.  Headstands, flips - it was just crazy!

Thanks for all of your advice.
