So after our cooperation issues on Wednesday, I decided to do some tests to find out what makes Baby G move so I can make sure I do those things before my next appointment.
Today was test day #1. Here's a recap of our test results:
Orange Juice:
Based on feedback from other moms, I was told to try drinking some orange juice to get the baby moving. Honestly, I don't drink a ton of OJ and I only just started feeling the baby move so I figured it was worth a try.
I had a small carton of Tropicana on my way in to work and didn't really feel anything right away. I'm sure it takes some time for the baby to get the sugar into their system, but I wasn't seeing that one as a real win.
Results: currently inconclusive
Coffee:
While thinking back on my morning Wednesday, I realized I missed my morning 1/2 cup of coffee and wondered if that had anything to do with the lack of movement downstairs. So I made sure I got some coffee this morning.
At the moment, little G is popping and locking EVERYWHERE! I'm not sure if it's the OJ or the coffee, but there is more popcorn popping down there than I've felt to date. Something is making this baby move! I may just need to have OJ and coffee before the next appointment to make sure this kid is stretched out and moving.
Results: looking positive!
