2nd Trimester

urine sample

 have my midwife appointment 11 tomorrow

i hate peeing in the tiny test tube, it always takes me a couple of goes to get enough in even with a plastic cup.

seems i would have to go at 10.15 and i dont want to get up at like 7 to make sure i get a sample 

is it possible to do the sample tonight, late before i go to bed? is there a time frame for samples? thanks

Re: urine sample

  • I would think for health and legal reasons they would need your sample to be taken in their office.

  • I only have to do 1 urine sample throughout each of my pregnancies but they always just give me a plastic cup with a lid and then the lab techs drop the urine in the test tube.  Your office has you actually put the urine in the test tube yourself?  That seems difficult to do while trying to maneuver a pregnant belly. 

    But I am doubtful they want a urine sample from the night before.

  • Why do you need a sample hours before your appointment? 

    I have always (With 2 different care providers) just been asked to give a sample when I get to the appointment..
    Me too. This is my first pregnancy but so far, that's all I've had to do. I didn't manage much urine last time but they said it was fine.

    My doc office has me give a sample every time I come in the office for an appt.  I think they are checking for UTI.  Oh, and in a cup, not a test tube - that sounds really difficult!
