Pregnant after 35

New kind of prep for the movies
danieleandwayne

So, MH and I are (finally!) going to see "The Hobbit." It's basically 3 hours long. I can no longer hold my pee in that long. Not even at work anymore.
So now I have to try and gauge when I need to stop hydrating so that I can make it through the movie that starts in 1 hr 20 minutes, with maybe a minor pee stop just before going in and sitting down.
This is a whole new kind of math!

Re: New kind of prep for the movies
LOL! Yes a stop right beforehand should do it! And hopefully you will be so into the movie that you will not be thinking about having to pee or won't need to until afterwards. On a side note, I totally envy you for being able to go to the movies. I haven't seen a movie with hubby since Hangover 2 and we had to play hookie from work to see that!
Enjoy and have some super buttery popcorn for me!!
Good Luck with the pee math!
Let us know what you think of the movie. I'm a Hobbit/LOTR fan

Well I know I wouldn't make it. I went to a two hour movie this weekend and I made it but I had to go so bad afterwards. I shouldn't have drank a lemonde during the movie though so that was a mistake. Also I have noticed since being pg that when I have to go it can become painful fast and then I can't even empty my bladder quickly, it takes forever.

I've decided that I will give myself a small drink in 10 minutes when I swallow my Fiorcet-- since I've had a mild headache for two days now and I'm going to be dehydrated by the time I make it out of this movie-- and then I'll pee just before we go into the theater. Then I will just have to pray that it works out and I don't have to leave to go pee.

Yes that sounds like a good plan! I'd definitely stop drinking for at least an hour beforehand, then make a pitstop right before it starts. That said, I usually can't make it through 3 hour movies even when I'm NOT pregnant lol.
And I'm jealous too! I think since DD was born I have seen maybe 3 movies in an actual movie theater, and most of those involved DH letting me escape for a Saturday night with a girlfriend to see a chick flick. I saw one with DH when we both took a long lunch one time, but no "date nights" in over two years. :P

Um, there is NEVER a good time in a LOTR film to leave and go pee. Never. I'd rather wear a diaper.

LOL! Well than I back your choice 100% to wear a Depends if that's the route you go!
Maybe you could get a catheter from work?
No way I could make it that long w/o peeing and w/o drinking anything.
Good luck and enjoy the movie! Sounds fun!

It was good. For some reason, they felt the need to change some things from the book-- things that they didn't need to change to advance the plot or keep it exciting, so I'm not sure why they made the changes. And some things, well, I think they just wanted to use their special effects "because we can." But it was still a good movie. I'll reserve final judgment until the other two installments are released because I'm wondering if they skipped major parts or if they'll put them in the next 2. I'm still going to pay to see it in 3D with some friends...
