Pregnant after IF

Question about A/S tomorrow..

Hi Ladies,  

I have my A/S early tomorrow morning and I forgot to ask, do I still need a very full bladder for this scan?

Just want to be prepared, but not torture myself if I don't have to!  Smile

Thanks!

  • They asked me to drink a bottle water about an hour before.  They said they needed the bladder full to get a good shot of the cervical length and some other pics, and they had me void right after they got those shots at the beginning.  The rest of the a/s was much more comfortable with an empty bladder!

    I would drink water before getting there, and just void if you don't need to have a full bladder. 

    GL with your scan tomorrow!

  • I needed a full bladder -- they scanned for a while and did some measurements and then had you empty it. 

     

    I think its the same reason they do for the ET -- so the waves can travel through liquid.
