Hi everyone. I am 19 weeks and 4 days.
My ultrasound is friday to see what my
baby is. My quuestion is this. The
receptionist at the doctors office told me
to drink sprite or mountain dew before the
ultrasound because it is high in sugar
and it will make the baby active so we can
lessen the chance of it's legs being
closed and the baby beign asleep. Has
anyone else heard of this?

already had 2 kids. Good luck and let us
know if it worked! :)

Ohhh yes!!! It definate plus to drink
something with lots of sugar before an
ultrasound appt. Not a lot though b/c
your tinkle will have high amounts of
sugar suggesting gestational diabetes and
we don't want that!! You can even drink a
couple slurps of coke...
I went with a friend to get her ultrasound
and the baby was asleep and not really
waking up with bouncing on the belly(with
the ultrasound monitor) and the nurse
practicioner came back with a dixie cup of
coke! Sure enough..About 5 minutes later
that baby was exposing himself like never
before!!!
So yes..I've heard of that procedure just
be careful on the amount you take in!!!
Good luck!!

Sorry, I forgot to update you all. It's
a girl. And I just have to say - she
would not open her legs for about 15
minutes so the mountain dew thing is not
accurate! I have a 7 year old daughter
at home who is beside herself with joy.

advice! With my 2 children I had to drink
pints of water! I needed to wee so bad
and they were still trying to give me
more!Lol!
