I have a scan Thursday

[brmipo]

I have an ultrasound scheduled for Thursday to (maybe) find out if I'm having a girl or a boy. (I'm 22 weeks) My brother and sister-in-law told me that their doctor told them to drink a Mountian Dew or some other really caffienated beverage before the scan to wake the baby up and get it moving around so I'd have a better chance of finding out. Has anyone eles's doctor ever told them this? Does this actually work? I've pretty much avoided caffiene all together since I found out I was pregnant. Any other hints to get the baby moving?

Ice water often helps wake the baby up. But, caffeine is probably the best way to go. Caffeine for this specific appointment won't hurt the baby. You'll be fine - just have yourself a soda and sit back and enjoy the show.

Try a bottle of lucozade. I did, baby still slept lol.. but we were still able to find out.
