For all of you ladies that have already done the anatomy scan:

Maybe it depends on the u/s machine. I wasn't told anything but ill call to make sure bc some of the women there are flaky and may have forgotten to tell me. Someone didnt put my appt in their computer so when I confirmed it at my appt a few days ago, she added me in and said we will figure it out.

I went as soon as I woke up and stopped going about an hour before my scan then chugged two bottles of water on the way to the appointment. Oh and drank some my dew to wake baby up! I was miserable during the whole ultrasound having to pre so bad and then my stomach hurt the rest of the day

I haven't had mine yet, but I received very specific instructions. For my 8am scan, I need to drink 16 oz of water between 6:45 am and 7 am and then hold my bladder. The doctor explained this was to ensure some of the measurements at the top of the uterus were accurate. After the tech gets those, I am allowed to empty my bladder for the rest of the scan.

I would actually die. I could never hold it that long, pregnant or not!!
