Ice Packs on the Belly!

[purplepoet20]

I have an ultrasound tomorrow and someone said I should use ice packs several times a day and right before ultrasound to get the baby to move into a better view.... I am concerned because I have never done this before. Also my placenta is low and in front so I don't know if it can cause a blood clot or something. I do know of some Dr's saying to use bags of frozen veggies to get the baby to move into delivery position.

Any advice on ice packs and placenta or baby health is needed asap!

I've heard you should drink orange juice like an hour before your scan to make baby active enough to see the gender.

BEST OF LUCK tomorrow PP, can't wait!

I have never heard anything like that, but I don't see how it could hurt. When pregnant with DD1, I used to sit on the couch with a bowl of ice cream balanced on my belly, and she used to kick it. I think she could feel the cold.

Good luck tomorrow PP! I hope that shy baby gives you a chance to see the goods!

I had soda before 1st scan and juice before 2nd scan... made the baby to wiggle. Thinking of drinking only water for an hour before scan.

PP, Here's a double ~*Good Luck*~ in hopes baby will show the goods this time..It is the third time, and I've heard it's supposed to be the CHARM!!!

Drink as much water as possible between now and then - I'm told that has a direct effect on the amount of amniotic fluid in there and so on their ability to get a good shot. Something sweet close to your appt would help to. I have no idea about the frozen veggies, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!!!!

Best of luck Purple!!!
I would drink water like Mocha suggested, although I've read somewhere about drinking ice-cold orange juice like Butterfly said. I'll try to find it!
