Drinking juice/soda to help find out the sex before your Level II??
I just heard that this helps in keeping the baby active and legs uncrossed for the big reveal during your Level II? Has anyone heard of this before?
So, here's my concern...I have been OBSESSED with fresh grapefruit juice (no sugar added) throughout my pregnancy. Oddly, it's been my biggest craving and I am afraid to say I drink about a liter or more a day. So if juice makes the baby active like caffeine, should I be concerned that too much is harmful?
TIA

I think your just going to get a lot of sugar. My OB warned me against juices because of high sugar content, even in unsweetened.
I have no idea about making baby active.

I drank OJ before my Level 2 to keep the baby moving. Its just the sugar that does it. I dont drink it on a daily basis.

I was told to drink OJ before my sono to wake the baby up. It doesn't always work....At my 3D sono 2 weeks ago, Jr. wouldn't uncross his legs......

I drank a lot of OJ before my level 2 and I think the baby was sleeping. The DR. said  was so comfortable he or she wasnt moving much.

I had my level II last week and I havent eaten in a couple hours, just had water. I was gonna have dinner right after. The tech could only do half the measurements bc the baby wasnt moving that much. After doing whatever she could she gave me ice cold water told me to drink it really fast and like 5 cookies and walk around for 20 minutes. After all that it still didnt help. I have to go back next week to finish. She told me to eat a meal before I go and drink a lot of water. Maybe just eating enough will help your baby move.

I think too much of anything is generally frowned upon. A friend of mine craved fruit and had it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and her doc told her she needed to diversify a bit because was eating too much sugar.
That said, I had a glass of orange juice and a bowl of honey nut cheerios before my level II and my little guy gave us quite a show! So I'd personally recommend a little sugar on that day.
