I have my 3D scan tomorrow and they said to stay hydrated

Help!!! I have my gender scan and they told me that I need to have been staying hydrated for four days ahead but I cant keep much down now I am worried they wont be able to do alot. They told me I dont need a full bladder though anyone have any similar experience

Ohhh man 15 weeks? Thats so early! I hope they get u the images u want if ur looking for features thats way to soon but if ur looking for gender should be fine I went in at 21weeks. And they didn't tell me to flush my amniotic fluid? Never heard that since baby lives in that. But eat something and drink something cold before u go in :)

Yeah I have been trying to drink more but I already know it is no where near enough. I am only 15weeks so I hope they still get a good enough picture. Yeah she told me I didn't need a full bladder either.

I have a 3d tommorrow they told me to drink lots of water 2 weeks in advance so it can clear out the amniotic fluid and I could get clearer pictures.
