1) DRINK WATER: Even though you don’t need a full bladder for ultrasound, drinking plenty of water for the week or so the baby will have increase the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby’s face.
2) HAVE A LITTLE SNACK BEFORE COMING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT:
There is no way to absolutely turn or manipulate your baby into the best position, however, having a snack or a small meal before coming to your appointment will encourage the baby to be awake and moving. A large meal is not so good, Also candy helps.
3) OB/PELVIC Ultrasound: you do need a full bladder.
4) ABDOMEN: (NPO) NOT BY MOUTH AFTER 12MIDNIGHT.
5) CAROTID, VASCULAR AND BREAST NO INTRUCTION NEEDED.
