Have a Full Bladder When Going For Ultra Sounds! Posted: 06-21-05 15:08pm
I didn't know this but you're supposed to
have a full bladder when you go in for
ultrasounds....Especially when you're
early on. I used the bathroom like right
before my ultrasound so instead of
checking outside I had to stick this long
thing up there and have my ultrasound done
like that....Wish I was aware before
then....Didn't hurt but was a bit
uncormfortable...And made you have to
tinkle!

That's what I was told....And if you odn't
need to have a full bladder they'll let
you know.

chances of having a full bladder for
ultrasound is very slim.

was gonna do an ultrasound the other way
but my bladder wasn't full.

If your early they do the internal
ultrasound but for the external one, you
do need to have a full bladder. If your
bladder if full, it will cram everything
into one area so that they can view things
easier. If your too early they wont be
able to see anything from the external and
will do an interal ultrasound.

I had both done one time. I was 8
weeks.
They were trying to find where my bleeding
was coming from. They had me drink lots
of water and did an external one and then
they told me to empty my bladder and did
an internal one.
