  I think it depends on what the u/s is for. For my weekly BPP u/s the tech told me to eat before so that baby isn't sleeping and we get the test done quicker... But I'm thinking if they're donig measurements it's easier if baby isn't wiggling around as much.

  I've never been told either way, a always ate something, maybe not right before, but every time.

  Food is not restricted. Go ahead and have lunch. My instructions don't restrict food at all.

  I ate before both my ultrasounds. During the A/S baby had hiccups the entire time. It didn't cause any problems.

  My u/s tech has never directed me not to eat prior to attending an u/s.  I would enjoy your lunch!

  Thanks ladies. I ended up eating a late snack and some fruit so I had lunch after and a snack before. I figured it was fine but was just curious if anyone had heard anything otherwise. Thanks again.
