water and ultrasound Posted: 01-07-08 12:02pm
I'm going for my ultrasound in less than a
half hour and feel really sick from
drinking only half as much water as I need
too!
Gah! How do I keep it all down!!!

I was told I could drink anything that was
clear, soda, juice, tea, etc. I was about
118 lbs at the time and drank the whole 32
oz. that they said I had to drink, and
after my appt the girl that did the
ultrasound said that I probaby could have
got away with less than that. They just
want your bladder to be as full as
possible so they can see the baby good.
Good Luck.

possible without it being uncomfortable. i
drank half a pint and they found the baby
right away

I was told to drink 40 oz, but my I threw
up after only 20oz : (
I was scared they'd send me home but the
ultrasound went really well! My guess is
that they had no problem because I'm so
tiny, but I'm so relieved, lol
Thanks for you're help

what?!? ok, first time I've heard of this.
I have an appointment, but they didn't say
anything about me having to drink before I
came in! I understand why, but I'm
starting to not like my doctor... even
though I've only seen her once...

Really? My doctor's office called me a day
before to remind me to have a full bladder
(which was probably why I was freaking out
that I couldn't keep it down.)
Maybe you should try another doctor, you
are going to be stuck with her otherwise
for a while : )

ok, well my appointment is still about
2wks away, so hopefully they call me :-\
The closest hospital I go to is 30 minutes
away. The closest one after that is over
an hour, hour if we really rush. They only
have two doctors I can see prenatally and
I really don't like male doctors, they
just freak me out, always have. So I'm
left with the woman who has 500 things on
her mind while trying to give me pelvic
exam... I still want to slap her for that
(didn't warn me, just stuck it in and
rooted around, didn't say ONE WORD!!
GRR!!)
