What is your "go to" drink or other?

What do you drink or eat that gets baby moving?

I normally have a very active LO but I've been awake for a while this morning and haven't felt anything.

*****Yes I know he is running out of room and yes I know he may be sleeping. ******

BUT--
This isn't normal for him.
I had waffles and chocolate milk this morning and even that didn't get him going.

    Orange Juice works for me pretty much every time. I would also just try cold water, if you haven't had any in awhile.

    Cold water or just eating anything in general. If I don't feel him move for a bit I give my belly a push. He usually shifts around then. They get quieter as you get closer to your due date. But as always check with your doc if you are concerned.

    Ice cold juice and if that doesn't work I have a Hershey kiss. If your concerned call the dr.

    I don't 'try' to get LO moving. I'm quite content for this breech kiddo to not squirm, stretch and kick.

    But he/she is very active after I drink ice water or hot chocolate.
    Orange juice and hot coffee have little to no effect.

    Right. I will call dr later if I haven't felt anything still. I was just asking what everyone drinks that gets their baby moving. Maybe they would be able to tell me something I haven't tried yet.

    Thanks for the tips!

    I always feel the baby more if I'm laying on my side. Maybe try that if you haven't already?

    - also must say, I was expecting this to be a thread on your "go to" alcoholic drink!

    Almost forgot!
    Beer. Not sure if he/she loves it or hates it, but sure causes a ruckus.

    Cold water works for me and laying on my right side. They can have lazy days, maybe he just wore himself out :)

    Orange juice! At my NST the time before last, LO barely moved and had to get buzzed. So this week I drank a single serving bottle of OJ and he was WILD!

    That's my baby too. If I eat a toast with Nutella in the morning, the baby gets crazy excited for a couple of hours!

    Ice water and any kind of juice. Or chocolate.

    Ice water usually does the trick, or orange juice. Hot chocolate can get some kicks to.
    Try laying on your back or side in a quiet room.

    I love OJ, but don't usually have it at home. I've noticed movement with ice water, for sure.

    Crushed ice- from Sonic if possible. I don't ever have to try to get my guys moving, but when I have sonic ice they look like they are trying to fight their way out.

    I have eaten and munched on a lot of ice today and have gotten a little bit of movement so thanks everyone for the suggestions!

    And the beer comments have had me drooling today. Mmmmm beer!
