Can drinking water help for a better picture quality on ultrasounds?

Question

I have an ultrasound coming up and I’m going to ask for a 3D/4D…was wondering if I drink a good bit of water leading up to my ultrasound if the picture would be any clearer?

Answer

It depends how new the ultrasound machine is. I’m always told the newer the machine, the less likely they need a full bladder.

Answer

They like you to have a full bladder for the scan. As it pushes the uterus up.

Answer

Transvaginal ultrasound at my doctor they always ask to empty the bladder first.

Answer

I was told to drink a lot of water for the weeks leading up to my ultrasound, this isn't from my Dr office this is from the private place we are going to see about an early gender. She says it will brighten up the picture to see better if your body has been completely flushed with water for like 4 or more weeks
