Big U/S ?

Meliss227

I am so excited that at 3:00 tomorrow I will get to see my baby and hopefully find out what I am having.

I didn't get any instructions about drinking water or eating anything to make the baby move. For those of you that have already had yours what did you do before it?

I had a big meal before my u/s today and she was out like a light. Had to wiggle my belly to get her to wake up a bit. With my other u/s I drank a bit of soda and she moved so much that is was hard to measure her.

I didn't do anything special, and if you didn't get instructions to, I would just stick to your regular routine.  My baby was so wiggly that it was hard to get a clear picture for the first 10 minutes, and then it played peek-a-boo with us, so we didn't get a clear image of the head and face (although it was pretty cute to see the LO with its hands in front of its face like that).  Don't worry, have fun, and remember to enjoy the experience!

Oh, yay! Mine is tomorrow at 2:30 and I cannot wait! I was told by the lady who scheduled my appointment to drink 16 oz. of water an hour before so I have a full bladder (fun). My baby tends to be more active around that time, but I will bring some candy incase he or she decides to sleep. I really want to find out the gender!

I drank a lot of water before because I thought I was supposed to and the lady made me go to the bathroom in the  middle of it because she said my bladder was too full!

I drank soda. She was busy but not busy enough to where she was too hard to measure. You could try juice which knocks out the caffiene. I think every LO is different. You could test some things tonight. See what gets her moving and shaking.

I was supposed to finish drinking 20 oz. of clear liquid 45 min before my appointment.
