DS (2.11) has an ultrasound in a couple of weeks to check his bladder and kidneys, now how am I supose to ensure he arrives with a full bladder when he has little bladder control, and will inevitably just pee his pants?

oops, he is 5.11 years not 2.11 years.

If you were to arrive 20 minuts before the appointment you should have enough time to sit and drink lots of water before the scan rather than make him travel with a full bladder.

Yes, I will try that, but he wont be able to get to the point where he needs a wee but has to wait til after the scan before he goes, he just wont be able to hold on.

Ring up the clinic and ask them for advice: he can't be the first one with this problem....
