full bladder for 12 week scan?

[flutterbylge]

hi ladies me again, the pregnancy dummy

I have my 12 week scan on tuesday, but it didnt say in the letter whether i should go with full bladder or not. I am just wondering cos when i had a private scan at 7+3, i had to have a full one.

thank you very much xx

Drinking a pint of fluid is fine, you dont need it full to the brim lol

Better to go with a fuller one than an empty one

Good Luck with your scan - hope it goes really well

Can I just suggest you ask if there's any delay on appointments when you arrive especially if it looks a bit busy. I wasn't told that there was a forty minute wait beyond my appointment time and as we got there early and I'd had a pint of water an hour before we got there I was uncomfortable for ages then ended up having to go to the toilet and down a load more water.....

I think they can see it tons better if you do drink up! I almost wet myself when they pressed on my belly. But, got excellent pictures! lol

if your bladder isnt' full enough they will have you drink more water and wait again...... best to go in after drinking that pint of water 1 hour before!

my 12 week scan letter just says to make sure i've not gone to the toilet for an hour beforehand
