Question about 12 week check up..UPDATED w/ Picture
I was told to drink 24oz of water 1 hour before app't and not to go to the bathroom, is this because of ultrasound? Do you get to see better if you drink water? Thanks all !
UPDATE: I asked the sono tech. and she said yes all the water was for the sonogram - it was the screening for downs also. She took 1 pic. of the baby than let me go potty and then we took lots more pictures and I was soo much more comfortable, I had to go sooo bad. Here is the baby. Image Attachment(s):

Re: Question about 12 week check up
That's probably what it's for, however, when I went for my 12 week, she had me empty my bladder, so who knows.

Re: Question about 12 week check up
I did have to empty my bladder for the 1st sonogram - it was internal though.
Hmmm...I'll let you know.

Re: Question about 12 week check up
The doctors office told you that? I always had to empty my bladder before.

Re: Question about 12 week check up
Yes, they said one hour before, I am just assuming it is for sonogram?

Re: Question about 12 week check up
Usually abdominal sonos are done after drinking alot of water.. I always had to do that to.. Only time you dont is for an internal sono

Re: Question about 12 week check up
for my 12 week they had me empty my bladder. for the 20 week they did 2 - one full one empty. I think they say the fluid allows them to see more detail and get the meausrements they need. hope this helps...

Re: Question about 12 week check up
All of my sono's have been external. I had one at 7 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks, and will have one at 32 weeks. None of them I had to go with a full bladder.
I feel bad for you, won't it be so uncomfortable to have them pushing on your tummy, with a cold gel when you have to pee.
I think that's plain mean to do a pg lady
Did they tell you why? I would ask if it's really truly necessary.

I would always go to great neck radiology and I was told that they get beter measuerments or soemthing when the bladder is full..
