How on earth do you make sure you have a full bladder aka drink a full litre of water before a scan with HG? I’ll throw up if i have even a glass of water across the day😳

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, just do what you can manage and turn up. The sonographers are experienced and will still scan you.

thankyou, i saw the 1L requirement and panicked no way i can drink that much with HG😂

If you are getting IV fluids at all, you can try to time your appointments an hour or so apart- I did that once and it worked great! Otherwise just have what you can and hold your bladder for a few hours before instead of trying to fill it just an hour before your appointment. If they still can’t see clearly, they can always do a transvaginal scan which is much clearer anyways

I wouldn’t worry, I’ve never been able to drink a thing on the days of my scans, I’ve had 5 in total so far on an empty bladder and no issues

This is exactly what happened to me with my son… I suffered really badly with serious Hyperemesis throughout the pregnancy and I couldn’t keep anything down let alone water for a scan, I explained this to the doctor/nurse and they were okay with it. It’s usually just a caution so it makes the scans clearer with a full bladder. I’m so sorry you have Hyperemesis, I hope you get on okay! ❤️
