Not sure about the full bladder, a lot of it depends on where you go and their scan equipment I think (I had a scan at 13 weeks--a surprise one--so no full bladder and we had no problems seeing the baby).

The scan will take around five to 10 minutes. Nearly all scans after 10 weeks can be done through your tummy, and most units ask you to come with a full bladder. The sonographer will put some gel on your tummy and will move a small hand-held transducer over your skin to get views of the baby.
It doesn't say you need a full bladder just that most units ask you to try and have one. It's easier to empty a full bladder if they don't need one then to fill an empty one! lol
