Urine sample

[stretchypants]

Hi all, can I ask, how are you getting in with the wee samples? Each time I visit for a check up I’m given the tiniest pot to provide a sample. Off I trott to the toilets and last time I thought I nailed it. However today my bump has now grown some what, I can no longer see where I’m aiming and managed to get it all over the place. The pot is wet and as I go to rest it on the shelf so I can tidy up the damn thing slips from my hand and the contents splashed up the wall 🤦🏼‍♀️! Please don’t tell me I’m the only one with this issue 😂

You are not the only one. Im sure it's supposed to be midstream too. Im 29 weeks this friday and not looking forward to getting a sample. From experience with other pregnancies, you will most likely just struggle on and manage some how.

Take extra pots home and do FMU, that’s what I’ve always done?

I agree it's tricky! Last time I was at MW I asked for a spare pot - they were happy to give me one and now I can do it at home in a larger container before decanting! This is one on a long list of problems I never realised I would have. Putting socks on is rapidly becoming another...

I always brought the sample in a pot to the appointments.

@BlueberryPancake21 socks and knickers I’m really struggling with too, I get so out of breath trying to bend in half!
