Results of A/S's today & Question before mine!

I thought we could use this post to let everyone know the results of our A/S's today!

 

I also have a question. I have heard differing opinions about what to drink before an ultrasound. Some people say to have a little bit of caffeine and some say none. I obviously want to make sure they can get the measurements and see the sex (hopefully!) I normally have a 12oz Mt. Dew with my lunch. (Helps with my headaches, doctor says it is ok.) My question is, should I skip it today in fear that the baby will be too active? Or do you think it will be ok? I usually have one at 12 p.m. and my appointment is at 3:30 p.m.

  • I don't know... but I've heard both sides as well.  I'm close to my a/s (5 days!) so I'm curious to see what people say.

  • If you regularly drink one it probably wouldn't affect LO the way that me drinking a 12 oz Mt Dew would affect me & my LO so you'd probably be fine. If they can't get measurements you'll just have to be prepared to go back next week.
  • I say drink it!! With my DD, she slept through the entire time -- I had to drink some soda to get her moving - I'd advise drinking orange juice or caffeine on the way - happy anatomy scan!!

  • I have told all of my prego friends and I did myself for both boys to drink a half of a 20oz soda an hour before with your water. Myself and all of my friends that have done it have all found out what we were having =)

    This was going to be my plan, I don't want to drink too much that the baby is all over the place and it's hard to get measurements but I also want to see some movement. So I was planning on drinking a little soda with lots of water.

  • My u/s techs have always told me to drink juice about 30 mins before the scan to ensure that baby is active. I did this for mine and he was totally chill, barely moved and she had to shake him several times to get the scan she needed.

  • They told me to have a full bladder. How much should I drink? Enough that I have to barely pee or enough that my bladder hurts because it's so full?

    I'm not worried about her being active. The tech told me on two separate occasions that I have an extremely active baby.
