Do you have to drink a lot of water for baby to show up good on ultrasound?

Question

Answer

You don’t have to, but it does help

Answer

My doctors office always has everyone use the bathroom before ultrasounds. Not sure why they say to have a full bladder for ultrasounds

Answer

I think they only ask for a full bladder during early ultrasounds because it pushes it all up to get a better view. 
I guess it all depends on how far along you are and how high your placenta is.

Answer

Yes, in the early stages (probably including 12 and maybe 20 week ultrasounds).

Answer

I never ever did and my ultrasounds were phenomenal

Answer

So for my anatomy scan they said drink a lot of water, they only said that so they could see my ovaries. When they wanted to look at the baby, they let me pee.

Answer

depends on how far along you are

Answer

During early ultrasounds yes... but once u get far enough along, theres no need for it
