First scan cant remember is its full bladder or empty bladder?

[LouLouH]

Second baby but i can't remember whether i need a full/empty bladder for the first scan (its been 6 years).

full

Yeah, full if I remember.

Full. It's full for the second scan too, which I didn't realise and went to the loo just before I went in. I had to go sit in the waiting room and drink and drink and drink before having another scan.

I think it depends on the machinery they've got though - with DD it didn't matter, but in my current pregnancy (at a different hospital) it was full for the 12 week scan.

Thank you ladies. I prefer to ask here rather than calling the hospital when they know its your second baby they think you should know it all!

Full , but they might ask you to have a little wee if they scan and see it is too full !

I had to do that once -

Full, but be careful in the waiting room, because if they are running late you will end up feeling really uncomfortable!!

They say full but for every scan I've been to they've been running over an hour late and I've had to go for a wee.......it didn't seem to matter and they didn't say anything.

If it's a modern machine, it doesn't matter. Older machines require a full bladder. Calling to see what kind of equipment they have could save you a lot of drinking!

full...just looked at my letter and im required to drink one and a half pints an hour before appointment...i hate it tho, its so uncomfortable!!
