I just got back from my 33wk dr visit. Dilated to a 2 and 60% thinned. (not bad compared to last pg) but my blood pressure was high (140/72) so I have to pee in a jug for the next 24hrs and take it back to them same time tomorrow. This sucks... not what I wanted to have happen this visit. who knows maybe I was just nervous or ran up a flight of stairs? NO? ok fine I'll pee in the damn jug....

    I had to at one point with #1 because I had high protein in my urine.  Nothing like looking at a jug of urine in your fridge.

    I had to because of high blood pressure. I bet Dh $10 I could fill it up. Lol. (Which I did, if you were interested. lol) It wasn't that bad. Kinda grossed Dh out though.

    I also had to earlier in the pregnancy due to high BP. Oh the fun of it all :P

    I had to do it TWICE with DS. Fun ain't it? It even turned out there was no protein in my urine... either time.

    I peed in that damn jug 7 times before I had the Hitchhiker. Never any protein, either. I still have the nun's hat under my bathroom sink...I guess to remind myself why I never want to be pregnant again. ;)

     

    Good luck! Hope everything comes back normal!

    I had to in the beginning of the pregnancy due to HB. I had no protein in my urine, so that was good.

    Hope you have good results.

    I've had to do it twice so far due to increased risk of pre-e, and then high BP.  Both times it was ok.  I'm sure I will have to do it again with my luck.  :(

    Yep. Twice so far. Once at the hospital and once at home. I just kept it in a cooler on ice while I was here at home. But it was kind of embarrassing to carry it into the office.... but oh well, I'm not the first and definitely not the last gal to do it.....
