So, I obviously know that as a pregnant woman i should be drinking loads anyway, and i have, but, i have an early scan in 2 days, ill be 8w5d.
I have a history of difficult to find babies on scans and was just genuinely intrigued as to weather drinking 2 litres or more everyday for like a week or so before your scan would help things be more visable? Compared to someone who didnt drink alot. Just out of interest.

Hi… I think water only helps with a over the stomach Ultrasound and that’s just full bladder at the time. I had a transvaginal scan last week and needed a completely empty bladder for that. But if you are having internal scan I will say she had a bit of trouble at first finding mine because my bowels were so full. I go back in 2 weeks and she said try to get them moving and they say water really helps with constipation so maybe drinking water would be a good thing.
