24 hour urine test

Does anyone know if you have to completly fill the jug with urine?  I've had no problem with pee'ing the entire pregnancy until the past week.  I drink tons throughout the day and now im retaining water so bad that I just don't pee that much.  I have to take it back at 2:00 and I only have it about a quarter full so far.

I drink a TON of water and had to retake the 24 hr urine test because I filled the jug and they were unable to determine if my level of protein was normal due to the fact that it was actually normal or if it was too diluted because of the amount of urine I turned in. My dr told me to cut my liquids almost in half so they could get accurate results the second time around. Definitely don't worry about filling the jug because you'll most likely have to redo the test like I did!

I don't pee that much, even for a pregnant person! I barely filled mine half way, they didn't have any issue with it.

I filled mine about 2/3 of the way and they were fine with that.
