Do I need to hold my urine during ultrasound at 12 weeks of pregnancy?

It is best to hold your urine when doing an ultrasound during pregnancy, so you can drink more water in the two hours before the ultrasound. However, do not do the ultrasound on an empty stomach, because when you are hungry, the baby will also be hungry, and the baby will not cooperate with the examination when hungry, so make sure to eat enough, and try to choose loose clothes when doing the ultrasound, which will be more convenient.

1. Don’t do an ultrasound on an empty stomach. Especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, if the baby is hungry, he or she will not cooperate. During the B-ultrasound examination, some data cannot be seen clearly or measured, or the measured data is inaccurate.

2. When going to the hospital for examination, it is best to wear loose clothes and shoes that are easy to put on and take off. This can save time and also help the pregnant mother relax her nervous mood. During the examination, you should try to relax and cooperate with the doctor. If you are too nervous during the examination, it may affect the effectiveness of the examination.

3. Hold your urine in advance. When doing an ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy, a certain amount of urine needs to accumulate in the bladder in order to see clearly, so it is recommended that pregnant mothers hold their urine in advance. If you need to do an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy due to special circumstances, such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., then drink 4-6 cups of boiled water at home in advance to save time going to the hospital for examination. It is not necessary during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

4. Do not eat foods that easily produce gas, such as milk, sweet potatoes, etc., before having an ultrasound, because this will hinder the penetration of ultrasound and cause unclear imaging of the examined organs.

5. If there were problems with the last examination, you need to consult in advance about what preparations you need to make before going to the hospital this time.
