I was told that I don't have to drink an ungodly amount of water for this 2nd ultrasound. I can eat and drink normally. Then again I have to go get a level 2 ultrasound being considered high risk due to age.

Hmm okay well yes I am going to call back and make sure. I wouldn't want to have to reschedule.

They didn't tell me to drink water, just make sure I eat before.

For me they suggested not emptying my bladder and eating like 20-30 minutes before. They told me this helps make the baby more active so they could get the measurements and see the gender.

Mines the same way. When I booked my appt she said just to do my normal routine. So no, she said not to worry about drinking extra. My bladder seems to fill up quite easily as it is, so I'm not worried about it.

Yes you better drink water because if you don't they will tell you they can't see anything because you didn't drink water to rebook for another day.

They told me with me daughter at 16 weeks to drink water & use the bathroom an hour before. The 25th is mine for this pregnancy, I'll be a little under 19 weeks & they told me just the same. So yea, sounds strange to me! Lol.

I had to drink water before, but it didn't make it to my bladder yet, for whatever reason. They were still able to get the measurements though.

Haha oh I know that feeling! (:

They didn't even tell me to drink before my 9 week u/s. At 20 weeks you should be good to go. I usually drink a bottle of water on my way just to be safe... and then regret it when my bladder feels like it might burst thru the whole u/s :)

Ok thanks ladies! I'll call back just to make sure.

hmm okay...I was just wondering if maybe I got the wrong instructions but okay thanks (:

They don't care if I drink, just not empty my bladder. Honestly, at 20 weeks, baby should be bid enough for them to see what they need to.

With all 3 and now 4 of my kids I've had to drink lots of water 1 hour prior to the ultrasound and not to empty my bladder....so yes to me that does sound weird

I have mine today and they didn't tell me anything
