I have my scan booked for tomorrow morning and nobody told me if i should go empty stomach or eat first. Im 12 weeks and honestly i get so dizzy if i skip breakfast. Pls share what u did before ur scan.
It depends on the type of scan. For most pregnancy ultrasounds eating is fine, but for early ones they sometimes want a full bladder so they ask u to drink water and not pee. My gynac always told me the prep beforehand, so just confirm with your clinic.
Generally yes u can eat normally before most pregnancy scans. The main thing they ask is a full bladder for early scans, so drink water and hold it. Just call the lab and ask their specific instruction, it varies.
I was confused about this before my first scan too. They told me to drink lots of water and not empty my bladder, which was so uncomfortable, haha. Did anyone else have to do the full bladder thing?
