When someone tells you to drink 6 glasses of water in one hour, and then wait another hour before you can go pee... don't. For a pelvic ultrasound, 3 glasses of water will suffice quite nicely.
The ultrasound technician was appalled at the size of my poor bladder. When I was in the bathroom finally relieving myself, she greatly amused Bundy by using the images she took to determine exactly how much was in my bladder. She estimated that there were 800 ccs of liquid (which is about 3.5 cups, or 0.8L). 200 ccs, apparently, would have sufficed.I'm out of practice - I followed the instructions to the letter. I know better now.
Phew.
