Best way to get baby active for ultrasound?

Question

We are having my anatomy ultrasound on Monday and when I had my daughter she didn’t want to cooperate the first time around! Lol - but we have a gender reveal party next Saturday, so I want to make sure this baby cooperates! 😂 I have heard there are ways to get your baby active before an ultrasound, such as drinking caffeine. But I would like to get some advise, of maybe other options... HELP! Lol

Answer

Cold oj worked for us. I only drank about 8 oz and it was plenty

Answer

Our ultrasound tech told me to drink a smoothie before. Worked well 👌🏼

Answer

Cold chocolate milk worked for me yesterday.

Answer

I had my scan yesterday. Tried every trick but nothing would make our little one roll over, it just laid on its side facing my back the whole time. Kicking like crazy but no rolling. They couldn’t get the profile shot so I may have to go back

Answer

Cold drink or juice. Just be careful with the juice. My friend did juice before her ultrasound for her first and he was soooo active they couldn’t do measurement and she had to go back 🤣 must have been a sugar high!

Answer

Sugar in your bloodstream, cold drink, a coffee an hour or so before. Stay active right before and up until your apt.
Same for ctg later.

Answer

I drank orange juice for my scan once and my daughter wouldn’t stop wiggling lol. I probably drank a little too much.

Answer

I drank cran berry juice n then another time sweet tea

Answer

Anything sweet and/or cold seems to do the trick

Answer

A really cold drink, snack on something small and sugary. Walk around for around 15 mins before your scan time. A full bladder helps.
