Does prenatal ultrasound require a full bladder?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for more than five months. Today, I went for a prenatal check-up to have a detailed examination and an ultrasound. Could you please tell me if I need to hold my urine for the ultrasound during the prenatal check-up?

Doctor's answer:

I've been pregnant for more than five months. Today, I went for a prenatal check-up and the ultrasound examination didn't require me to hold my urine. Because the fetus has grown beyond the pelvic cavity, at this stage, there's no need to hold urine for the ultrasound examination. During pregnancy, it's important to go to the hospital for regular prenatal check-ups, pay attention to getting enough rest, and avoid overexertion or working overtime. Pay attention to a nutritious diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, maintain a cheerful mood, and use computers and smartphones less.
