of course u can eat before having a ultrasound.. the reason that you are to drink so much water is because your bladder will be full so that you can see the baby much clearer through the machine.

I'm pretty sure it is okay to eat before your ultrasound, and the reason you drink so much water is to fill up your bladder. when the tech does the ultrasound, the bladder is a good "landmark" they can use when looking for certain things, and when filled is easier to see, also helps push the uterus closer to surfact to see! hope this helps...

I don't know about the eating part, but it was explained to me that you drink so much water because it fills your bladder and moves it out of the way and the baby closer to the surface so it's easier to see.

You can eat lightly and the large water consumption is so they can see the baby/fetus . It has something to do with where they baby is and size depending on bladder.
Funny thing is, they make you pee before the test if you drank too much. Good Luck and Congratulations

Yes you can eat.
The water is because it's easier to do the ultrasound if your bladder is full. Easier for the person doing the u/s anyway. Real PITA for you.

i never do.but you can. u have to drink alot of water because it helps better see the fetus..You just be sure and drink alot or they will make you wait longer until ur bladder is full..or fill it up themselves and that is painful..i tried being sneaky once,trust me drink the water..I did fool them once when i was 8 mo. along or they just gave up on me one or the other..i just hate that feeling of pressure..
