HELP me w/ this bladder issue plz?!?!?!?!!?

Question

i 'm supposed to drink 32 oz of water for an ultra sound and i drank it but within say 40 minutes i was sooooooooooooooooooooooo uncomfortable and i hadn't even made it to the medical ctr yet!!! So i COULDN'T get it done bcuz thats how uncomfortable i was

Anywho they gave me a ppr that said drink water at 145 and stop at 215 mind u my appt will be for 315!!!!!!! Thats crazy who can hold it for that long.

Anywho, say if i drink 32 oz ,15-20 mins BEFORE the ultrasound will the bladder be full and will i be able to hold the urine comfortablly while laying down without being SOOOOO uncomfortable as i was???

Answer 1

The only ultrasounds I ever had were related to pregnancy. But my OB had a water cooler in the office lobby and I just drank a bunch while I was waiting to be seen. By the time I was taken in for the ultrasound, I had a very full bladder!  I think your plan to drink 32OZ about 10 minutes before your appointment is a good 1. It is unreasonable for them to expect you to hold it that long! Good luck and I hope this helps

Answer 2

You would just tell them that you weren't able to hold it and they will have you drink more water.  It is always uncomfortable to hold your bladder but it has to be done.  Usually the ultrasound does not last that long.
