Hiya, i'm due to have a scan at 3pm today !

How much will i have to drink to fill my bladder ? I know that is a stupid question !

I have a 1.5L bottle of water and i have only managed to drink quarter of it, do you think it will be enough if i drink it all ?

I think it depends how far on you are. For my 12 week scan I needed a full bladder but for my 20 week scan I needed an empty bladder. I only drank half a litre and that was enough.

Hun personally i think if you drink a pint of water an hour before it should be full enough, take a small bottle with you incase you get thirsty and want to have a drink.

It's horrible sitting there needing a wee etc.

Good luck

No more pee's!!! lol Drink about a pint 45 minutes before you go and hopefully that should be enough. You can top up once you're there, most clinics have a water cooler.

Hope the scan is nice and clear!

Oh you poor thing! LOL. One of the most horrific things I found whilst pregnant was being expected to hold in a wee while I waited for my scan! I actually went to my 0 weeks scan with an empty bladder because I drunk ym pint and a half and then sicked it all back up *yeuk!* I did manage a few sips of water whilst we were in the waiting room, and fortunately Millie was in a good position for the scan. Hope everything went well for you anyway

Hiya, everything went well !!!

I totally od'd on drinking water !!! I had to pee twice before i left for the hospital and i REALLY needed to go when i was waiting. When i went into the room, the midwife was like " oh my god, your bladder is too full, i might have to get you to empty it a little "

It would have been my pleasure !!!!!!!!!!!! But she could see the baby fine so we pressed ahead !

All was well, my baby has legs and feet !!! And for those who have read my posts, thats good news cos i was paranoid that he wouldnt ahve any legs, i am such a freak ! But it was a really clear scan, even got to see his little face which to be honest was quite alien like but thats just natural at this stage.

Overall, i am so much happier with this scan, i feel so much more at ease.

The next scan is the one i'm going to pay for at a private clinic to find out the sex, that will be in 4 weeks.

Again, thanks so much for all your help and advice people !
