Peeing in a cup...

MeeksandMads · March 2013

So, I'm at my 31 week appointment and I get my cup to pee in... And apparently I can no longer see to aim into said cup, and my pee now comes in some kind of crazy spray, not a straight line. I'm pretty sure I got about 6 drops in the cup, and that was the biggest challenge of my day. Awesome. Also, I fell down this morning for the first time in my pregnancy. No danger to baby but it hurt my toe and knee! Just complaining, no real point to this.

That happened to me yesterday, and I remembered that there was a point at which it was easier to reach around/underneath from behind to fill the cup. It's a little awkward, but still easier!

I usually have to pee in a sterilized pill bottle, so teeny tiny opening. One day I forgot my sample but had to pee so they just gave me a dixie cup. Yeah. I barely get enough in the cup for them to do a dip, and it was a giant opening. I don't know where

Probably for the past month it has been hard to aim into the cup bc I can't see! So I just put the cup upto my vagina and hope for the best!

I have the hardest time peeing in a cup anymore! I did ok this week, but last time I got pee all over the toilet and my hand and almost none in the cup. Clean catch? Yeah right.

Yes it has been very difficult lately with not being able to see and it does more of a spray then a stream anymore..super gross but I usually get more all over the cup or my hand than in the actual cup and it's not even that small of an opening..then I tr

I've been having the crazy pee spray too! When the baby is on my bladder it goes everywhere. It has hopped out of the toilet several times so now I lean allthe way forward. At my last OB appt Imissed the cup entirely and had to try again at the end of the

I am so glad you posted this, as I was just thinking about this at my appointment earlier this week. I just start peeing, and then stick the cup down there and move it around and listen for the sound to change to let me know it's going in the cup and n

i always have to take my 2 year old son with me to my appointments and he thinks it's hilarious that i have to pee in a cup. he calls any type of elimination "poop" right now and loves to loudly yell "MOMMY POOP AT DOCTOR OFFICE!!!" for the whole wa

I'm going to chalk it up to luck, but I think I have become a pro at this. I just whip it under there and 'suction' it to the area I think is right.

Yeah it kind of goes everywhere anymore. That and the fact that each time I pee only about a quarter cup comes out at all doesn't help.

I finally figured out what worked for me... If I stand I've the toilet and Ben over as far as I can I can see the stream and get the cup under it. Not very graceful but it worked for me yesterday.

MrsM1111 · March 2013

I just left my OB and was thinking the exact same thing! Each week it gets worse!

TNcardinals · March 2013

Now I know to be thankful for the big plastic cups my OB's office gives me to pee in.

Schell2013 · March 2013

I will not miss peeing in a cup anymore. Last week I peed all over my hand and soaked the label. I mean good grief, you would think this should be getting easier by now, not harder!

ScottsdaleMama · March 2013

I love that you posted this! I have noticed this at my last two appointments. It's not a matter of reaching with the cup, it's that I have the strange pregnancy pee 'spray' going on.

virginiagirl11 · March 2013

The exact same thing happened to me on Monday at my appointment. I bent down to pee in the cup and couldn't see a thing for the life of me. And then my pee came out in a spray and I peed all over my hand. By the time I finished cleaning everything up and

MeeksandMads · March 2013

I'm so glad I am not the only dysfunctional peeing pregnant lady!! Also, I have tried the suction to vag area, but the amazing pee spray/trickle just seems to fly around it. Also, I do think starting the stream first is good, but I try not to overdrink wa
