To drink orange juice before, or not

For those of you who have had your Anatomy Scans already...

I've read both positive and negative or drinking orange juice beforehand to get baby moving.  Some have said it helped, others said it moved too much.  Every ultrasound we've had, baby has been very still, with just occasional arm movements.  I want the tech to be able to see everything she needs, but I also really want to see gender, too.  

 So, to drink OJ, or not to drink OJ... what would you do?

    I drank orange juice before both my elective & my A/S and we still had problems getting the baby to move- she is either very stubborn or very lazy! haha But finally after 5 minutes or so, she started changing positions and they got all the measurements they needed. I only drank about 1 cup before each so it wasn't that much sugar rushing to her at once.

    My baby moved enough without OJ, so I wouldn't drink it unless you need more movement.

    With DD I drank OJ that morning to make sure she moved. I remember her moving a bit and kicking and stuff but it was kind of a funny cute thing, it wasn't a problem for measurements. I guess you never know.

    I had my A/S this afternoon.  I made a point of not having any sugar, any caffeine, and anything spicy before the appointment and the baby was still jumping all over the place.  The US tech got everything she needed, but couldn't stop giggling at how active he was.  I think I'm going to have my hands full with this one.

    Mine was super active and all I had was water all day. I may bring a bottle of cold OJ so you can get her kick started if necessary. But, I may hold off on drinking it until you know.

    I would drink it, I did before my last ultrasound and loved seeing baby so active.

    I drank a small glass of iOJ before my appointment. We didn't have a problem with  baby being too active. I drank the OJ because I normally don't feel him much around the time of day that my appointment was scheduled.
