2nd Trimester

f/u to earlier post about drinking water before u/s

For those of you who didn't see earlier, I was told to drink 32 oz of water (half hour before my appt) and hold it for my u/s. A lot of people said they didn't have to and wondered why some places made you.....here's what my u/s tech told me she needed it for:

I got to the u/s place and my bladder is so full it hurt to walk! I waited for 30 mins to be called back and getting on the table and laying my legs flat was killer! But the u/s tech was super nice and said "I'll take less than a minute and then you can go to the bathroom" It was as if I heard the voice of an angel!!! She said she needed to measure my cervix and something else before I emptied my bladder. So after that, such sweet relief!!!

  • With my first U/S I drank what they told me and I was in PAIN.  I could not sit or lay down.  She made me go completely empty my bladder before even looking and it was still full when I came back.  It took me 3 pee trips to empty it.  So she told me when I come next time to only drink 2 bottles of water.  I was relieved that I wouldnt have to be in that pain again.  oh anddddd it was raining outside so it made it even worse anddddddd my doctors office has a waterfall in the waiting room!!!  It was terrible.

    We found out two weeks ago that we're having a boy. (See my post below for the funny story....) But today we were very excited to find out it was a healthy boy! And as always, I love seeing him.... I could stare at him for days!  : )
