3D - 2

How to ensure clear 3d ultrasound?

I go in for an elective 3d ultrasound next Tuesday. I'll be 25 weeks 5 days. I want the clearest picture possible. Are there any ways to ensure this. My doctors didn't give me any instructions. I've seen both blurry/undefined 3d pics and really clear nice ones.....I want a clear nice one, lol....any tips?

1. I thought those were dangerous
2. The best and only thing you can do is drink a lot of water on your way and make sure you DONT go pee before they do it. I don't know why lol but that's just what my doctor told me and with both babies i had perfect ultrasounds. so good luck.
3. I'm going for my 3d ultrasound this weekend, I'll be 28 weeks:) so I want to know the same thing as you haha
4. I didn't drink any specific amount of water but they told me to make sure that I was hydrated. when i got there they asked me to use the restroom before hand because it is not necessary to have a full bladder before hand and it can take up to an hour. I don't remember drinking anything before mine and my pictures turned out great. the only thing you can do is hope you get a good tech and cross your finger and hope for the best. the worst thing that could happen is the baby will not show it's little face. when I went in my son had his face burried in my placenta but once the doctor got him to move, they took 42 picture and put them on a disk and gave me 6 colored pictures and 6 black and white ones and they were only supposed to do 3 of each and 20 on the disk.
