Health: Today, I had to get an ultrasound, which required me to drink...

By Aciliveth - 10/06/2010 16:07 - Canada

Today, I had to get an ultrasound, which required me to drink 3 glasses of water beforehand. The doctor said I had too much and told me to go pee out just a little and come back. It took a lot of effort to hold the rest in. The first thing she did when I got back was press on my abdomen. I peed myself. FML

Today, I had to take a urine test. I drank a lot of water so that I wouldn't force it. When I got there, I had to pee really bad. The cup was too small and when I relieved my bladder, it was a jet that rebounded off of the cup and overflowed going all over my hands, clothes, toilet, and floor. FML

Today, I have to get an ultrasound at the hospital. In order to get a clear picture, I need to have a full bladder. I've been waiting my turn for 2 hours now, desperately needing to pee. There are still multiple patients ahead of me. FML

Today, I had an ultrasound which required me to have a full bladder. I arrived on time, bladder full, only to be stuck in waiting room limbo for 40 mins. I nearly exploded. FML

Today, I had to pee in a cup. The cup almost overflowed. My first instinct was to drink some so it didn't spill. FML

Today, I had to take a drug test for a new job. I ended up spilling the cup of pee all over myself. I had to explain what had happened, then go sit in a waiting room full of disgusted-looking people, while I kept drinking water to fill my bladder back up. FML

Today, I had to go to the clinic for a physical. The nurse asked me for a pee sample; however, I had no urine to give. After 20 minutes of standing at the stall I was able to squeeze half a cup of pee. As I approached the sink to cover the sample, I somehow managed to drop it all over myself. FML

Today, I had to get a urine analysis done for my doctor. I take medicine that makes me a little shaky sometimes. Guess who spilled their pee all over themselves while trying to put the lid on. FML

Today, I had to take a mandatory drug test with the doctor present. Nervous, I couldn't get myself to pee in the cup right away. When I finally did, I couldn't stop myself from overfilling the cup and getting pee all over myself. FML

Almost made it

Today, I drank 1.5 litres of water. I didn't go to the bathroom for 9 hours. During my one-hour trek home on public transport, I was busting to pee but I managed to hold it. Walking 200 metres from my bus stop to my house was agony, but I still held it. When I got to my front door, I peed my pants. FML

Today, I went to get blood and urine tests done before work. As I was attempting to aim into the cup, I lost balance and slipped. I ended up peeing on my sleeves and my pants. I was late for work and I smelled like pee. FML

incase you didn't know, it's really hard to hold it when your pregnant...hence the whole ULTRASOUND part.

Everyone knows you can't pee just a little. I think she knew you would pee yourself. Probably had bets to see how long you would last. btw fyl.

If she pressed on your abdomen, I think she probably had a clue that this was going to happen. Probably happens a few times a day in that office.

1. It was most likely not a doctor, but a sonographer. There is a whole job built around ultrasound, and with the amount of ultrasounds done I don't know why it is so hard to call people by the right title. 2. It may not have been a pregnancy scan. You need a full bladder for a scan of your uterus etc. to help distinguish between structures. 3. There is such a thing as drinking too much water before a scan. If the bladder is too full it can compress other structures and make them harder to visualise.

wow. part 1 of this comment screams bitter. Most people don't care what a job title is... I don't really care that people call me a "tech" when I'm not. hey, at least they have the general idea right. But as for the rest... yup. I had ultrasounds when not pregnant and had too much to drink. The person was nice about it and showed me the difference in visibility! it was like going from looking through a straw to looking normally.

when you gotta go, you gotta go. how does she expect you to just squeeze a little out when you're so full of water? I blame her lol

It's not worth doing the scan if the bladder is over full. It's better for the patient to try to empty a little bit of water than have to get them to make an appointment for another day.

it's very hard to hold your bladder when you have a baby that is pushing on it and then the doctor does it. you all try that and see how good of bladder control you have.
