u/s/ question

Hello Ladies,

I go in Tuesday for my first u/s as I will be 8w2d.  I have read that you need to have a full bladder for the external u/s.  Is this true?

Thanks!

  • Yes it's true.  The fuller the better for them to see.  It's not very comfortable, but so worth it to see the baby in there!

  • Have they already told you they are doing an external? I got in at 10 weeks for an ultrasound and they are doing an internal.

  • Both times, I've never been instructed to have a full bladder.  However, I did have a full bladder this time around considering I knew I had to PIAC and I was prepared... maybe over-prepared, lol.  I had to pee really bad.
