Help me with ultra sound water amount .......plz????

Question

i will be having an ultra sound to see why i have pain and some other stuff the doc saw through a ct scan.

I need to drink 32 fl. oz of water.

I bought a 32fl. oz gatorade drink. I measured and it equals four coffee cups and fills a fifth cup by a tiny bit its more like a swallow. Is the gatoreade bottle good enough??? I heard somewhere that your suppossed to drink 6 cups but the 32 fl oz gatoreade bottle fills up only 4 and way less than half in a 5th coffee cup.

Is this okay?? I mean it does say 32 fl oz on the conatiner.............

when i say coffee cup i mean teh ones u use in your house for coffee with a handle.

Answer 4

It's fine. I just had a pelvic ultrasound and they told me to drink 32 oz of fluid and to finish drinking it an hr before my appt.

BTW, 1 cup= 8 oz, so 4 cups=32 oz.. Good luck with your ultrasound!

Answer 5

If you were told to drink 32 fl oz then drink just that. The containers don't lie. That is fine. You do not have to drink 6 cups.  

Answer 6

Well you have a few choices... you do NOT need 32oz. Just enough to pump the bladder up. Everyone is different. Take WATER, not Gatorade with you to the hospital, or wherever you are going. If anything, if you don't fill up, they will have to stick a catheter up your urethra and that hurts really bad.

Answer 7

The amount is fine but water is better-all the sugar in the gatorade may get the baby moving around too much and then they can't see what they need to... Good Luck!

Answer 8

you don't have to be exactly on---just try to drink as much as possible..your poor bladder is not going to be able to hold that much for too long & it only gets worse when they start pushing on it with that ultrasound! good luck~
