last time I drank 1 L of water 1 hr prior to my US and the technician said my bladder was not full enough, and she said for next time, I really have to make sure it is full.
Now, my question is ...should I perhaps start drinking the water prior to the 1 hr? And drink more?
Because last time, I had my U/S at 9:45 am, and I didn't feel my bladder as full until noon.
OMG its a killer! I gave up and went for a wee lol
The lady was fab too teh last time as we'd waited an hr in waiting she came out in 5 minutes I was like erm havent got a full bladder and she was thats fine we can do it without and my pics came out lovely too
First time was hlf hr before (sips of water) and in waiting room - and again gave up as I said above
They always do a urine sample before my ultrasound (well the last two) so my bladder is very much empty. I remember for my ultrasounds early on the gal told me to just drink 2 water bottles a hour and 1/2 before the appt.
I can't help sorry, perhaps you should just drink water from the time you get up!?
I have only ever drunk a pint of water (just over half a litre) an hour before my 2 previous ultrasounds & the sonographer keeps telling me that I don't need to drink that much as my bladder is so obviously full!
I just had this problem with my U/S last week. I'd start drinking one hour before. I started drinking less than a hour before and when I went in, she said I haden't drank enough water. If you get to full, up here they get you to pee in a cup until its full but you have to stop after. I think thats one of the reasons they couldn't tell the gender, it was really fuzzy
