Before undergoing a pelvic ultrasound, a woman may be asked to drink several glasses of water and to avoid urinating for about one hour before the examination. When the bladder is full, the uterus and fetus are easier to see. A lubricating gel or mineral oil may be applied to the area to make moving the transducer easier.
