I'm at the doctor's office for my monthly check up. While collecting my urine sample I somehow hit my hand on the edge of the toilet and spilled pee all over myself.
How. Freaking. Embarrassing.
-
Uh, every time I gave a urine sample during pregnancy I'd pee all over my hand, spill it on my clothes, spray all over the floor. I had no aim.
I started completely removing my pants and undies and putting them in the opposite corner of the bathroom to protect them...
-
Baaahahahah. At my appointment today I was supposed to wait until the very end of my (2 HOUR) appointment when I went to the lab but I could. not. wait. So she brought me a cup and told me to put it in a bag (that they gave me) and bring it back to her...I just had visions of the lid not being tight enough and tipping and spilling and the bag just leaking pee...
You win though...well done.

Sometimes i wonder why the person in front of me in the bathroom at the midwife office takes SO long in there. This is probably why. I should be more patient
I haven't had any problems, yet, but I can still see what I'm doing. Once the belly gets bigger... I may have to follow @highwire: 's lead.
-
@highwire: bahahahaha me too!!!! OMG I am so glad I am not the only one. Honestly, the bathrooms had signs that said never to get any urine on the rim of the cup in case of bacteria and skewed results. YEA OK. I'll just whip out my whiz ezee and make sure not to get a drop anywhere but the inside of the cup!!!!
-
@.twist.: My cup always had pee all over it.
-
@highwire: haha mine too. I'm such a messy pee-er. I would try cleaning it all off like there were no problems, but if anyone could see me in the during pee process, I think they would laugh their ass off!
-
@.twist.: The end was just a total shot in the dark. I couldn't see anything whatsoever.
-
@highwire: I'm not quite there yet, but I can only imagine! hahaha

I had to give a sample the other day because I'm sick (but not pregnant). The doctor wanted to confirm it so he could prescribe a specific cough medicine. Well, he's a solo doctor so there's no private bathroom in his office. He gave me the cup in a paper bag and had me use the hallway in the bathroom. No biggie except there were 3 people waiting in his lobby that I had to walk by twice. It was so obvious what I was doing!
-
Yikes! I got really good at aiming into a cup over the course of pregnancy. But at my 40 week appt. I peed all over my hand...I felt like such a failure for not having a successful finale.
-
I'm doing okay so far because I hold the cup like RIGHT there when I pee. Once my belly is bigger, and is in the way, I'm going to have to do what @highwire did because I can't squat and pee for the life of me! It's a HUGE mess. =\
-
Wait.....I think this is TMI....but don't you just hold the cup right up next to your..ahem...body? Even if the instructions are to not use first pee, I just pee a little, stop the flow, then hold the cup right up against me and pee the rest.
Am I doing it wrong? Or am I really going to get so huge I won't be able to reach that far? What am I missing?
-
@Anagram: haha no I think you're doing it right. I can't "stop" the flow so I just try to quickly get the cup in there mid stream..... LOL.
-
@Anagram: The instructions at my office always said do not touch the cup to your body at any time whatsoever b/c it will contaminate the sample?
-
@highwire: ah! My doctors have never said that--at any doctor I've been to. The usually give the wipes and instruct to clean from front to back before peeing for that reason. So maybe different doctors do it differently. But that explains it!
-
@highwire: I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think I may have to steal your method
-
@Anagram: I peed in the cup pretty successfully. My problem was pulling it out from under the belly. I couldn't see and hit my hand and pee went flying, literally flying everywhere. On my hand, on my pants, on my shirt, on the floor.
Not my finest or most graceful moment!
-
Oh, I've TOTALLY done that!
-
@highwire: me too! towards the end, i couldn't even maneuver my hands under my belly, so it was ready-fire-aim!
