No you don't. One of my early scans was internal because my bladder was empty.

No for an internal scan you need an empty bladder.

Like the others said empty, thank goodness as I had filled mine up at my 6 week scan and could not have handled an internal scan with a full bladder!

No, as the scanning rod thingie is right next to your womb.

Good luck!

As the others have said, No you don't I had a scan and needed a full bladder but then they wanted to do an internal one and told me to go and empty my bladder.

I'm just wondering why they would do an internal so far into your pregnancy?
