i was told to drink 32 oz of water and stop peeing around 9am, u/s is at 10 am (i know its for better quality of the u/s)... my question is... those of you who already had your a/s, did you have to follow the same procedure? I feel like i'm going to burst by the time i get back there lol
ETA- i love drinking water so i'm used to it, just not used to NOT being able to pee when i want/need to!!
Re: a/s on 2/15! water question
I haven't had my a/s yet, but they told me 16 oz an hour before and not to pee.
32 is excessive I think for this late in the game, I had to drink 32oz when I had a u/s at 6 weeks and I had to pee so bad I could barely walk when I got there. The tech said if I was that uncomfortable I could pee and she would do a transvaginal. You better believe I opted in for that!!
They told me that, then ended up having me go pee almost immediately, because my bladder was so full that the babies couldn't move around.
For my DD they told me 32 oz an hour before. I drank half at home and sipped the rest on the way to the office. They called me in right away (thank god!) and took a few photos. Then said to go pee just "a little". I thought I would never be able to do that but surprisingly I did! Then she took a few more photos and I peed for the rest of the afternoon!
This time they didn't mention anything about water but I will calland ask just to make sure. If so, I'm wearing a Depends and taking extra clothes. My bladder control has never been the same since my first pg, and for sure I won't b able to drink that much and hold it while pg this time.

I wasn't told anything for my A/S this morning. I went pee halfway through the ultrasound so that the baby had more room to stretch out and we could get leg measurements.
I think having a full bladder matters more when the baby is really tiny early on?
