there is no special preparation for the ultrasound test. some doctors require you to drink 4 to 6 glasses of water before the test so your bladder is full. this will help the doctor view the baby better on the ultrasound. you will be asked to refrain from urinating until after the test. some doctors allow you to videotape the ultrasound so that you can take it home. ask your doctor if this is an option. if it is you will need to bring a blank videotape or dvd to your appointment.
how should i prepare for the prenatal ultrasound test?
