That's where I went wrong.. I was told to
drink a pint of "fluid" an hour before my
scan so i'd have a full bladder (so much
fun when they're pressing down hard on
your stomach) and I just drank water.. My
little one barely opened her legs and the
sonographer wasn't 100% sure of the sex,
but said she couldn't see any boy bits and
it was most likely a girl. I'm trying to
get everything in unisex colours just in
case, but some family members have been
buying pink things

yeah, I had to drink 32 ounces of water
and on top of that I drank the orange
juice. I was soooo uncomfortable and the
tech was really digging into my bladder.
I'm surprised I didn't pee on the table.

That's weird. I wasn't told to drink any
fluid. I've had two ultrasounds at 8
weeks and 12 weeks and never drank a
thing.

you might need to for your 20 week. I
don't think they make you do it everywhere
but it's so your bladder is full and not
in the way. It is torture to have such a
full bladder and to have them pressing on
it.

Yeah every hospital is different.. My
sister was told drinking fluids before the
scan wasn't necessary, and yet I was told
it was "essential" to drink a pint an hour
before or they wouldn't do the scan.
Weird..
