Wow, they always ask me if I need to go to the bathroom before having an ultrasound to empty bladder. Guess each place has a preference.

Congrats on a lil boy!

I always had to do that on every ultrasound drink 32 oz water and hold it for an hour to get a good view of the baby

They did the same for me. They told me to drink at least 24oz of water an hour before the anatomy ultrasound and hold it. I definitely felt like a big as* balloon hahaha it was very uncomfortable especially having to lay directly on my back for the scan. I peed like a million times afterwards! Lol

The ultrasound place had me hold it for an hour. Not sure why. My last pregnancy I didn't have to have a full bladder. But!!! I found out I'm having another little boy!!
