S/O Ultrasounds and full bladder: CP inside

I have never had to have a full bladder for any of my u/s either abdominal or transvaginal. The hospitals and doctors around here apparently do not believe in torturing pregnant women. Did you have to have a full bladder for your u/s?

    I think that's an older thing.  The equipment is so much better now, I don't think many places require that anymore.

    my ob office said they tell everyone to go with a full bladder because if they need it full, you're ready, and if they want you to empty it, it's just as easy.  ...it's torture becuase they never run on time.

    I have had several u/s done but they only required the full bladder for my NT scan, my amnio (they did the u/s, let me empty then did the amnio) and I will also have to have a full bladder for my anatomy u/s.

    I've been asked if I need to empty my bladder before every u/s.

    Me too!  In fact once they said it was too full even though I didn't really have to go and they made me anyway. LOL!

    Only for the early ultrasounds (before 12 weeks) They try to avoid doing TV ultrasounds before 12 weeks unless they have to.  For my 20 wk appt. I only have to have a moderately full bladder

    For the first U/S they told me to have a full one, but an empty one for all others.

    at my OB they make you pee in a cup at the beginning of every visit... so they obviously dont care/want you to have anything in there.
