20 week anatomy scan - anything I need to do before?
My sister told me she had to eat a big meal and drink and hold 32 oz of water before this test. My doctor never told me anything, and I have this appointment tomorrow at 10:30. Is this standard? The big meal - no problem, I usually do it anyway , but holding 32 oz of water? Can I drink it when I'm on my way? My bladder can't hold that for too long?

My doctor didn't tell me to do anything special ahead of time, and my scan was fine.

I got an instruction sheet with mine - it just said to drink 16 oz of water 1.5-2 hours before and to not urinate (so that your bladder is full - I think that pushes the uterus and makes everything easier to see).
I would just call and ask to be sure!

I guess I will call - but there is no way I can go 1.5 to 2 hours without urinating - I'm lucky if I can go 30 minutes!
Its just odd that they didn't tell me anything.
