3rd Trimester

How to get good results at a NST?

I have a NST scheduled for Monday and I'm just wondering if there any "tricks" that I can do to try to get a good one/fast one.  OB says they have to have 3 accelerations in 10 minutes, so theoretically I only have to be there for 10 minutes.  That being said she did tell me that that NEVER happens and that I will be there for a while-it all just depends on how quickly they can get the baby to do her thing.  So I'm just wondering what I can do.  Full bladder?  Sugary drink before?  Eat a meal before?  I never thought I'd end up needing one so I've not paid much attention to these posts before.  :)
