Help--24 Hr Urine Catch Issue

This may be a really stupid question so please bear with me.  I am doing a 24 hour urine catch for pre-e and with 9 hours left (overnight), I am already at the top of my can.  I know I will go to the bathroom several more times during the night and in the morning.  Should I just let the remaining catches go and just use the morning one or should I try to pour a bit from each elimination into the container until the morning.  My husband's idea was to use a large water bottle for overflow but that sounded inappropriate on many levels.  Any idea on what I should do????  Thanks in advance.

  • Don't get rid of any of it- put the rest in something else- or they'll have you do it over.

  • I would use a little from each catch, if you put it in something else, you also risk them telling you to do it all over again! i am also doing one right now....isn't it fun bottling up our urine lol

  • I work in a lab that performed 24hr urine testing and not suprised when we would get miscellanous containers because they had no more room. I would try to find empty jug. Never throw out!

  • Thanks all for the answers.  I am supposed to be resting but drinking a gallon of water and doing a 24 hour catch does not lend itself to much rest!  On top of it, now I have to tell DH he was right.  Ha!
