Should pregnant women drink orange juice before an ultrasound?

Some women may be asked to drink fluids during pregnancy before an ultrasound appointment to encourage the baby’s movement, especially in the early months. But are there any added benefits to having orange juice? We wondered the same when we chanced upon a post suggesting pregnant women drink a small glass of orange juice 30 minutes before the ultrasound. “A small glass of orange juice can wake up your baby, making them more active for a clearer ultrasound,” the post on pregnancyguide.co page read. We decided to verify the claim. Drinking fluids can help fill the pregnant woman’s bladder. Indeed, this pushes the uterus up, which provides a clearer picture during an ultrasound scan, said Dr Mansi Sharma, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, Motherhood Hospital, Kharadi.

Shinde Sena minister Pratap Sarnaik appointed MSRTC chairman after bureaucrat’s appointment led to ‘disquiet’ within Mahayuti govt

The Maharashtra government Thursday appointed Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik as the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) chairman, two months after the appointment of a bureaucrat to the position allegedly triggered disquiet within the ruling Mahayuti coalition.

This was the first time a bureaucrat was at the helm of the MSRTC, a post generally given to a public representative. This led to speculation that Shinde and Sarnaik were aggrieved with the decision.
