I heard drinking OJ helps but I had to drink tons of water before going in and drinking another fluid was last on my list!!
 
We are having the anatomy scan next week and I will be 19 weeks 4 days. My parents are coming down to see the baby and hopefully find out the sex. What's the best way to ensure our chances of being able to find out? I've heard drinking various liquids helps out because it makes the baby active. Does anybody have any experiences?
 
the only thing i did was drink lots of water. had a full bladder. and he moved alot. and they where able to tell I was having a boy! My doctor told me to only drink clear liquid. that way they can see it better.

Congrats!!
 
If you can already feel your baby than try those methods now to see if they work for your baby. For my ultrasound at 21 weeks I ate a bit of cotton candy before going in and it worked for me. But I tried that again at another appointment and it did nothing! The appointment after that one I ate sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes and he was moving pretty good. I think it varies by baby!

So try eating something sweet with a drink of orange juice, drinking some really cold water, drinking a bit of pop, or anything that you have found to work to get the baby moving if you can feel him/her already!

Good luck with the baby and the ultrasound! I hope you get a clear view!! :)
 
Drink juice or soda just to make sure your baby is up and moving. Sometimes they can be sleeping and curl up where you can not see. I drank a small glass of juice and another small glass of soda before my appointment and she was moving like crazy, and we got a definite shot. Good luck!
