Do I have to drink a lot of water for an ultrasound if I am 16 weeks pregnant?
Hi there honey. Just follow the directions that they give you. If they want you to drink a certain amount of water ( I used Fruit juice) they will tell you. You usually have to drink it about 30 to 60 minutes before your ultrasound is actually scheduled. I remember this as being the hardest thing I had to do while I was pregnant. The rest room is right there nearby and you can jump off the table and run when it is over! I have heard of some places that insert a catheter and fill your bladder that way. I would rather drink the water! It has been quite awhile since I did this so it may have changed a bit, as I said, get directions from the place that is doing the ultrasound. They are your best source of advice. Good luck honey!
