20 week scan. Info?

Heidi • This is my 4th pregnancy. I have had 3 previous misscarriages. I am beyond excited to be a mom and I pray to god everyday that this little peanut sticks!
I have my 20 week scan this coming Wednesday and we really want to find out the gender. I was wondering what tips and tricks you used if your baby was facing backwards or had legs crossed. I heard about drinking orange juice but when should I do so? I will already be filled with 1L of water so should I just bring an OJ bottle with me and if they can't see anything drink it or drink it a certain time before my scan?

My baby was being a little stubborn for my scan. She wasn't in he greatest position but they were still able to get everything they needed to get. They just told me to use the restroom and see if that would help move her around. Which it didn't really.

I heard it's best to drink the O.J 15 mins before your appointment. Mine is on Tuesday and that is what I was told to do :) good luck

yeah on my paper it says to drink 1L of water. I'm probably going to pee my pants lol

My ob didn't tell me about drinking a lot of water but I figured they probably want us to have a full bladder for this one to.

Be careful about the juice. I just had my scan and they were having issues getting babies to stay still for the important shots of the heart and organs and stuff. You don't want to have to come back again!
