How Much Water Before A Scan?

  For my early scans, I would always start drinking exactly 1 hour before and drink 1 pint. I overdid it a bit for my very first scan at 7 weeks and drank a pint and a half from an hour and a half before. The sonographer was running 15 mins late and I was fit to burst by the time I went in but on the plus side, I didn't need an internal and the pics are really clear. I would think at 15 weeks you could get away with about a pint starting an hour before but it really depends on how much it takes for your bladder to feel full and only you know that!
  
  Also, as I'm having twins, I was quite big from 18 weeks so stopped drinking anything after that. Now I make sure my bladder is well and truly empty before scans otherwise it's too uncomfortable
  
  Good luck this afternoon xx
