Going for my first internal ultrasound tonight

do I need a full bladder? TIA

Also, I feel horrible for DH. He may have to miss it. The lastest appt they could get me was 5:45. DH has class until 5:15. Did anyone's DH miss it? I almost feel like rescheduling.

My DH missed the first one because I got it after my first appointment to ease my mind and because it wasn't planned he couldn't get out of work. I was a little bummed but it was OK. Chat Icon

ETA: You shouldn't need a full bladder. They actually didn't make me have one for any of my ultrasounds.

Re: Going for my first internal ultrasound tonight

I didn't need a full bladder for any of my internal sonos, plus I would imagine it would be very uncomfortable if your bladder were full Chat Icon I think that the only time doctors like you to have a full bladder is for the external sonos -- but even for my 12 wk I didn't have to --

It does stink your DH cannot be there, but my hubby's schedule stinks also and he wasn't at my first visit either - it turned out ok! My first appt was early, 6 weeks, and they did an internal sono on me to check the viability of the pregnancy (this was mainly due to my M/C history). I saw my little bean for the 1st time and saw a hearbeat, and got pictures to take with me... so at least I was able to share that with DH when I got home Chat Icon

Good luck!

You do not need a full bladder.

As for DH - if your office is anything like mine, you'll be in the waiting room for 1 hour so he might be able to meet you there!

Re: Going for my first internal ultrasound tonight

Thanks guys! I was thinking the same. There is no way I could hold my bladder while things were going onChat Icon Chat Icon I am hoping they run late. I am the last appt. of the night, so hopefully I will have some waiting room time.

Thanks!!

Good Luck! My DH hasn't come to any of my sonos Chat Icon

No, you don't need a full bladder. Don't worry, everything will be fine. You're going to see your little bean moving around, it will be so much fun!Chat Icon Chat Icon

ETS: I am actually sort of glad that he didn't come to the internal sonos, I don't know why. but when I had the external one, I really regretted that he wasn't there. Chat Icon

Good Luck Janice! It's so exciting Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I had to give a urine sample when I first got there so you might want to go with a semi full bladder Chat Icon

thanks! I just got off the phone with him, he is sooooo down. He is going to talk to his professor. the only bad thing is that he is giving the review to the final. But in SI fashion, I can't imagine that they won't be running late with apts.

So glad you heard the heartbeat! i think it is going to be surreal.
