Do I have drink a ton of water or anything before the Ultrascreen?
I didnt find any info on what I need to do before I go in the packet they sent me.
I did the self-prick blood work and sent that in on Wed (altho I think they have to re-do it b/c my DH messed up) and now I have the Ultrascreen on Monday at the hospital.
Am I supposed to do anything going in? Like drink 6 gallons of water?

Re: Do I have drink a ton of water or anything before the Ultrascreen?
Is this your 12wk ultrascreen?
I didn't have to drink any excess water leading up to it, in fact I went to the bathroom 5 minutes before we had the U/S done ..and they got a great pic of the baby and all the measurements they needed
Every doctor/hospital is diff, though, so you might want to check with yours just in case?
Good Luck!
AND by the way - CONGRATS !!!!!!! (I think I missed you 'coming out'   )

I didn't have to drink water...best bet is to make a call to your doctor

they originally told me no on the phone, but when I got there the tech refused to let me pee until it was done.

no, in fact they have you empty your bladder beforehand.

You should call the office and ask if there's any "prep" required.
My office said there was none. I just happened to drink a bottle of water prior to the visit and 1/2 way through the U/S they made me empty my bladder (to try and get the baby to move to another position.)
