20 weeks scan tmrw and just one question.............

[biglips]

do i need to drink one and half pint of water before the scan?

as i cant remember if i need to

thanks

I didn't have to with either of mine - it was only with the 12 week scan I needed to.

depends on the ultrasound machine they've got, some of them you need to drink beforehand some of them you don't. I didn't for mine.

You shouldn't have to. Your uterus will be sufficiently pushed forward at this point.

ok thanks as thats what i thought about my uterus should be pushed out by now which it is.

My 20 week scan is next week and my letter from the hospital has asked me to drink 1.5 LITRES!!! of water an hour beforehand! I hope they're not running late....

I've had scans at 8, 12, 20 and 30 weeks and have never ever had to drink water before hand. Never any problem with the scan being carried out.

I've never had to either. The only thing I did have to do once is go to the toilet as I was too full! This was 5 years ago with ds's 20 weeks scan.

Good luck today

hiya all

i found my letter late last nite and i did had to drink 1.5 pints

was ssssssssssssooooooooooo bursting.

I needed full bladder for all my scans, even at 28, 32 and 36 weeks (having twins so lots of scans). They say the further on you are the less it is important but def full bladder for 20 weeks
