I have my 22 week ultrasound. And each week I weigh myself at home. I notice that if I weigh it in the morning before getting dressed or eating breakfast my weight will show like 2/3 pounds less than after a breakfast or lunch meal. Same at the dr. I usually have the appointments in the morning so I eat something very light and wear fitted clothes so my weight will show what is exact and not too much more pounds. Well my big ultrasound is on Monday at 1:00pm...that's the only time they had available in our schedules as well. So what can I eat between 8am-12noon that day that will be light enough in my stomach and won't make me show more pounds? I know I have to drink water an hour before the Ultrasound so my bladder is full. but anything about food that will be good and light that day?

Stop obsessing about your weight. Just eat healthy and the baby will take what it needs. Also your weight fluctuation has nothing to do with the sonogram and the baby's weight. You are carrying a lot of water, blood, placenta, amniotic fluid, I don't know why you are checking on 2/3 of a pound and certainly not INTRADAY. Your doctor would not be happy with you worrying about these things!

Unless your doctor told you differently just eat what you normally would. I think you are obsessing about the weight thing a lot. What does 2/3 of a pound count anyway? I would say dont worry so much about the weight, just eat right and you'll be fine.

your gonna gain weight, I wouldnt worry about it so much. You dont want to not eat for that reason.
Have you gained more weight than the doctor would like? Im a little curios why you are so concerned about 2/3 of a pound.

Why are you so worried what the doctor scales says. As long as you follow a healthy diet you will be fine. YOu seem a little obsessed about the numbers, remember there is a precious baby in your belly that is counting on you for her food and nutrition.

you don't have to alter your eating for an ultrasound. they see all of the baby's bones and organs in there...doesn't matter if you eat a big mac or a salad.
i asked if they'd be able to see the gender and they said that no matter how he was laying they'd be able to tell b/c of the equipment.
so, relax about your weight and what you're eating. let nature do it's thing and give lots of good food to your baby.
take care.

I am going to have my second big sonogram this month. Just eat what you normally do. They are not really concerned with how much you are weighing at the appt. They are just looking at the babies development. Good luck.

Stop obsessing about your weight (you are doing more harm than good)...you've got plenty of time to work off the extra pounds of pregnancy.
