Ultrasound Questions

At my next appt. (dec 5th) I will be in my 15th week. They are going to do a u/s to see if the cyst they found on the umbilical cord has gone away or what. I was wondering if you guys think they will do another vaginal u/s or a regular one? Last time I drank about 4 cups of water before hand and they did a vaginal. I acutally went to the bathroom when I got there and they had to let me go in the middle of the ultrasound cause my bladder was too full. lol. Don't want to go through that if I don't have to. How many weeks were you when they did a regular u/s?

they should do an abdominal u/s this time around. Usually if you are before 10 weeks along they do it vaginally, but after that the baby is bog enough that they can do it abdominally. Good luck!

I would assume they would do an abdominal too, but you should just call and ask to be sure. Mine was abdominal at 11 weeks.

It all depends hun... My first one at 6 weeks was a regular one.. BUT, she was able to see everything so an internal wasn't ness. It all depends on your body and if they can see what they need to.. they usually try the regular one first so do drink that water! Good luck!

They will not do a vaginal one past about 10 weeks, so I beleive they will do a regular one. Good luck!

I was only 8 weeks and they did an abdominal one and it showed everything fine. They shouldnt have any problems doing an abdominal one on you.

I don't think they will do a vaginal one this time.

Yup, they'll do an abdominal. Like others, I had one at about 8 weeks and they were able to get everything they needed from the abdominal one. I have my 20 wk one in just 2 hours today - I'm SOOOO excited!!!

I had two ultrasounds (both abdominal) at 13 and 19 weeks. I did chug back the water and had to pee like crazy afterwards, but it wasn't so bad. I drank my 3.5 glasses over the course of an hour. Just don't drink too much water, because that is just as bad as not drinking enough.

Six i think. i had to be closely watched because last year i had a eptopic. Hope everything will be ok when you go for your scan. Maybe you could ring up the hospital and ask!

Love Me Dee!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
