    I accidentally went to the toilet just before my appointment forgetting all about it. I had to drink another 1L and sit there until they got a good enough image - the good thing is that I got a looooooong look at my bubs while the water flowed back into my system.

    Good luck and I'm sure everything will be fine. I remember having the same fear the first time around.....

    Thats great news, i hope they let you keep the films.
    I hated the water thing too, i was nearly crying i needed to go so bad and it hurt. The guy let me go and empty half my bladder but i was so scared that i wasnt going to be able to stop peeing. lol

    congratulations! glad your scan went well! its such an awesome part of the whole pregnancy thing.!

    i think i will just drink most of 1 litre and closer to the end of the hour than in the beginning of the hour you are meant to drink it. (i know what you mean about worrying about not being able to stop hehe)
