Le Ultrasound Question.

As you may have read, my ultrasound is
.November 13th!
&.I just realized that she said .I
only need to drink one or two glasses of
water before .I go in.. Does that sound
right to you guys? I'll be 22wks at the
time, sooo... I don't know if that makes
a difference or what? But .I always
thought you were supposed to drink like, a
ton of fluids! It wasn't my doctor that
told me that, it was one of the
receptionists, but .I'd assume she'd know
what she's talking about? I don't know,
.I just wanted to see if that sounded
right to anyone!

think they said drink like 32 oz of water.

My docs always told me to go pee 2 hours
before the ultrasound and then drink 3
cups of water... And 3 cups seems more
then enough to me... On my last
ultrasound I only drank 1 cup a hour
before..

I had to pee an hour before my appointment
and drink 600ml (which is just over 2
cups) and that's all I had to drink for
both of my ultrasounds

I guess mine is different everytime I get
an ultrasound they tell me to go pee
before I lay down and never say anything
about drinking. But with my oldest
daughter they saw the cleft lip they told
me to go drink some water and walk and
come back to make sure that is what they
saw.

Thanks, guys.
I think .I'll opt to drink about 2
glasses.
She also said to eat an hour before .I do
in.
'cause she said that'll make the baby move
around.
Yay!

I wasn't told to drink anything
before my ultrasound although I thought
i'd read that other women did. I didn't
have a particularly full bladder or
anything and they managed to get a good
u/s. Weird.

It all depends on the person doing the
ultrasound. It really doesn't matter
whether you drink something or use the
bathroom first. It's basically their
preference. I've had 3 ultrasounds
already and none of the techs told me to
drink anything or use the bathroom even
though by the time I got to the appt. I
had to empty out my bladder anyway :d
good luck at your ultrasound and let us
know what you're having !!!!

My ultrasound people told me that I didnt'
need to drink that they could see the baby
either way. They also told me that if I
drank too much before the ultrasound that
it would be uncomfortable. My doctor
told me to drink but the tech's told me
that it wasn't nessissary.

Depending on where you go, you may get
different opinions.
I only drink 1 bottle of water(2 cups) and
I never have any problems.

I just had my 22 wk u/s last week and they
told me to empty my bladder an hour before
the appointment and then drink 32 oz of
water. But i'm sure whatever your
receptionist told you is fine, it probably
depends on whos doing it.

I think the reason they ask you to drink
water beforehand is because it makes it
easier to "float" the bladder out of the
way to get a better look at the uterus. I
had a full bladder for my first
ultrasound, and an empty one for my
second. They took my second ultrasound
because I was having contractions at 21
weeks, but it came out crystal clear and
.Alyvia was perfectly positioned to see
the goodies!

they told me to drink 32-48 oz of clear
fluids. I was about to piss on myself
when they was doing my ultrasound lol
