How to prepare for pregnancy ultrasound?

Question

I have my first pregnancy ultrasound scheduled next week and I'm a bit nervous about it. Is there anything specific I need to do to prepare for it? Like, do I need to drink water or eat something?

Listen, if it's an early scan, you need a full bladder. Drink lots of water and don't pee till they call you inside, simple.

I am hoping to need one soon. My sister said wearing a two-piece outfit is easier than a dress or saree.

Take an appointment early in the morning so you don't waste hours waiting. Carry a water bottle and some snacks in your bag because sometimes clinics run late.

I have my 20-week scan next week! For early scans, drinking water was key. Does anyone know if we need a full bladder for the anomaly scan too?

Wear loose comfortable clothes like a long kurta so you don't have to struggle. Just take a deep breath, you'll see your little one soon!
