First Scan tomorrow. Any questions I should ask?

Mouse · Jul 21st, 2009, 05:49 AM

So tomorrow is my first scan, we are both very excited. I am wondering if there are any questions I should ask at this point?

Thanks for your help!

i asked about measurements and heart rate (which they wouldnt tell me!) also where my placenta is! But was mainly just relieved that they said all was okay. Just a tip though - I went with a VERY full bladder (not helped by a 2 hour wait!) and by the time I got in the baby was too squashed by it to see and I had to go and empty it anyway .....

I have been sitting here trying to drink water so I would have a full bladder. So it's best not to have one?

they do say they want a full bladder and they told me that its best to have it 'somewhat' full just not over full like mine was

depends on how quick your bladder fills up, some say that drinking a pint of water 1/2 hour or so before is good. good luck!
