    If you think drinking 500ml's an hour before is bad enough, then try this......

    I had to do that and THEN turned up to my appointment only to be told that my sonographer had called in sick (GGGRRRRR) and that I was to have to wait 30mins for the next sonographer to be available!!!!!!!!! So yeah, you can imagine how busting i was by the time I got in to the scan!!!!

    For the last half of my scan (so the last 20mins) I got to empty my bladder so they could see better in certain areas, you might be lucky to get that too???

    Regardless, I still enjoyed it I wasn't going to let that person ruin my scan!

    i was told to drink a glass of water before my appointment. I drink a lot of water throughout the day so just drink enough to make me think about needing to go and then stopped. I could not even imagine having to drink a litre...it would of been soooooo painfull!!!!
