Re: nervous about 12 week sono
Are you going for a regular sono or the ultrascreen?
With the ultrascreen I needed to have a full bladder, but with regular sonos, I didn't need to.
At this point, it could be internal or external. My ultrascreen was both.

Re: nervous about 12 week sono
the ultrascreen is much more involved than a regular sono, and includes a finger prick blood test too.
I didn't have a regular sono at 12 weeks, I had to go to a lab for the ultrascreen.

The ultrascreen is the first tri testing for Down's and Trisomy. It's an ultrasound and bloodwork. Is your ultrasound part of the first tri testing?

Re: nervous about 12 week sono
my ultrascreen was both - internal and external. I needed a full bladder for the internal, then they send you to pee, and then the external.

It sounds like the ultrascreen. Mine was just external, but I know some poeple have both internal and external. My tech said if they werent able to get all of the measurements via external they would have had to go internal as well - but they didnt need to.

Re: nervous about 12 week sono
I just had my 12 week sono a few weeks ago. We decided to do the testing for downs and trisomy so they pricked my finger afterwards, but as far as the sono it was just pull your shirt up and I had to pull my pants down a little and they did an external one. I was nervous but it was fine.

Re: nervous about 12 week sono
I had my ultrascreen at 12 weeks...didn't need to have a full bladder and it was external. They took blood afterwards.
It was very cool. That baby looked more like a baby then a cashew and we saw it flipping around and it looked right at us! We got some great sono pics!
