Pregnancy Ultrasound | Preparation & Expectations | Results and Values

What is involved in preparation for the test?

The woman should wear loose-fitting, two-piece clothes. If done early in the pregnancy, the woman may need to have a full bladder. This can help with getting a clearer picture from the sound waves. A full bladder is not usually needed in the later stages of pregnancy.
