? about NT scan

MrsJWeaver

I have my scan on Wed am.  Do I need to have a full bladder?

I just made my appt for my NT scan and they didnt say anything about a full bladder. Maybe call and ask tomorrow real quick?

Yes.  I forget the oz. they wanted me to drink but it was ALOT.  I got there and it hurt SO BAD when the wand was on my belly.  She had me empty it because I wasn't even enjoying it.  She mentioned that the images might not be as clear now that I had an empty bladder, but it worked out just fine.  In fact...it still looked pretty full after I went on the screen.  Call the dr for the amount.      (12 week in bio-post pee)

I had strict instructions to drink a ton of water and have a full bladder. It doesn't hurt to go with a full bladder and then you can always empty it once you get there GL for your scan!

I did need a full bladder. They had me bring a bottle to drink while we met with the genetic counselor.

Have fun!

When I had mine they did not say anything about having a full badder.  I just assumed that I needed one.  Well, when I got there it was too full and I had to empty it anyway.  I was so happy b/c I really do not know how I could have made it through the scan with one.    If I were you I would go ahead and go in with one just incase.

When I went, I didn't need an extremely full bladder. I think mine was partially full?because?it always is now, but nothing crazy.?

?When in doubt go full, you can always pee when you are there if they don't need it.??
