2nd Trimester

24 hour urine collection

Does anyone else have to do this?

My doctor is having me do for the 16 week appointment (well, technically the day before)

I'm not sure if maybe it's because I have some autoimmune issues or if it's the norm...

Re: 24 hour urine collection

  • My doctor is having me do one. I'm a high risk patient and have been asked to do it just to make sure there is no protein coming out in my urine. HTH!
  • For my 16w appointment they handed me a cup when I got there. But I never had to collect any. Hmm, maybe your doctor wants to be extra catious?

  • I did one because I am diabetic. It's not a typical pregnancy thing though.
  • I did one after my initial appointment because of my history of high blood pressure.

    I did it on a Sunday when I didn't have to leave the house. I used a stryofoam cooler with ice instead of putting it in the fridge because that grossed me out.

    This exactly.

  • I have to do them all the time (24 hr urine cortisol), due to my (remission) Cushings Disease...if they suspect anything endocrinological may be an issue they will order the test - i.e. G.D., etc.  I would not get to worrying just yet and don't go and google anything (I should take my own advise)....the use the 24 hr urine for a lot of things.
  • I had to do it in my last pregnancy when the doctor started to suspect pre-eclampsia.  It confirmed my kidneys were shutting down (from the lack of urine I put out) and they immediately put me in the hospital to deliver my son.
    3 IUI's and 2 IVF's later- Brady arrived. Born at 36 weeks after PUPPS and pre-e/HELLP.
    IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again

  • I had to do one because I have high blood pressure.  My doc said it was to create a baseline to go off of in the future.  I also was just put on BP meds to help.  Hopefully the meds will keep everything in check and I wont have to do anymore testing.  If not, I am sure I will have to do it again in the future.

    Is your BP higher than normal?
