Drinking my fluids...

in 2nd Trimester

Well I'm just sitting here at the computer, drinking my 32 oz of fluids for my 9:30am u/s!! Can't wait!!!

 Edited to say: This is actually really hard. Apparently my body knows I'm excited and is all butterfly-ish and knotted up... sort of like I used to get on the first day of school, or a new job, or when you get up real early to go on a big vacation or something. So it's hard forcing so much water down my throat.

    I feel your pain, but I didn't have to do it that early in the morning!  In 4 weeks I have a 9:30am ultrasound though.

    Good luck :)  I've been getting the same way with the butterflies and knotty tummy before ultrasounds.

    Yeah it kind of sucks because I took off the 1st half of work today. But I still had to get up at the same time, to just sit here and gorge myself on water, lol. Oh well- whatever it takes to see this LO properly!

    my advice would be to not drink that much. i drank like 8 oz and she said my bladder was nice 'n full. the first u/s i drank the recommended and they had me pee out 5 ounces at a time (i had to fill a container & then stop) and i had to do it three times. it was like torture!

     have fun!

    I thought about not drinking quite as much, but the directions they gave me are very insistent saying if you do not drink enough they will reschedule you and "charges will be incurred for an incomplete study". So their scare tactic worked and I'm guzzling- ugh!

    Wow, I haven't been told to drink fluids before any of mine so far.
