To drink OJ, or not to drink OJ... That is the question

[Jenna_KA]

I have my Anomaly/Gender scan coming up in 3 days. I've heard so many mixed opinions on whether or not to drink OJ before, I can't decide what to do! I'm hearing they either didn't drink OJ and baby was sleeping, or they did and baby was TOO active! I just don't want to leave upset because I didn't get to find out the gender or the US tech wasn't able to measure everything correctly.
If you decided to go with the OJ, how soon before the scan did you drink it and how much??

Thank you and good luck to all my ladies!

Not sure on that I have heard it makes the baby more active. But I drink oj everyday as I can't eat or drink dairy products right now so I get it with calcium. Every u/s I have had baby is pretty active but not to active that they couldnt measure the baby.

sorry...do you want the baby to be active during the US? if so drink OJ or better still drink ice cold coke. Personally i would want baby to be still for the 20 week scan so that the tech can make more accurate measurements

Last time i drank ice cold coke about an hr before my scan, Baby was active but by the end of the scan had gone to sleep. so worked perfectly. I shall be doing it again this time =)

I drank OJ but I drink OJ every morning. Baby has been active on all my scans, whether they are at 8 am, 10 am or 6 pm.
