Internal dating ultrasound

This is a bit of side question but for what ultrasounds do you need to drink a lot of water. I've booked in for my 12 wk scan and was not told to drink lots of water. I also had a scan done at 8wks by my OB and he commented how full my bladder was - sounded like it was a bad thing.

Thanks princess and saram - I guess the thought of it is a bit off putting but if it really isn't that bad then I guess it will be fine. And you make a good point of not going through the stress of not seeing anything the first time - as I am likely to freak out!!

Bridee - I am going off my friend who recently had twins and she was always told to drink water beforehand as it seems to have something to do with pushing the baby into a better position to see from an external u/s.....but this was just one person - I don't know any of the hard facts etc.
