What to do?
I have a doc appt at 8:30am and have to pee in a jug for 24 hours for a baseline urine protein test (I had pre-E during my third pregnancy). We are on our way home from vacation, about 45 minutes from home and I have to pee SOOOO bad! I don't want to take this huge orange jug inside with me anywhere though. Should I just hold it?? ???

Do you have a large bag you could put it in to take inside?

My dr told me if I missed one time peeing in it then I would have to start all over again

I would figure a way to do it

I tried looking for my beach bag and my husband said its in the back of the truck. So I decided I'd just hold it! I'm sure I'll make it. I shouldn't have drank so much water in the car. ?

I sported mine in a big cooler at an outdoor shopping center ??? it was horrible.
Take it in with your head held high. Awkward things make people turn away anyway lol

Pee in it in the car? ???

I carried mine in with me. No shame! The only thing is that you need to get in the refrigerator.

I totally would but my 9 year old son is in here. I don't want him to see my butt or think peeing in moving vehicles is acceptable. Hahaha! ???

Just take it in! Who knows you there?!

So I made it home and I peed 900 ML's!!!
Legit question. This jug only holds 3,000 ML's and I'm already at 2700. I will pee AT LEAST 2-3 more times before my appt tomorrow morning. What happens if I can't fit it all in???
Will the test void?

I'm not sure if the jug is what matters, just the urine. When I was keeping my urine for 24 hours I had to use an empty distilled water jug that I had at the house (in addition to the orange jug the dr had provided). I peed constantly! I remember thinking "Who could fit it all in 1 jug?!" :)

I know on my jug it had some sort of warning about a preservative that coated the inside? So I don't know if you can use just anything to hold the pee if you fill it? This is why my nurse gave me two jugs; she said I most likely wouldn't need the second one but just in case. I had fun walking out of the room through the waiting room with two huge urine jugs and the bowl part that goes on the toilet. ??

I'll try to fit it all and if I can't, I'll put some in a water bottle just in case. I don't want to have to do this again!

Oh god I would hate to have to do that. Sounds like such a pain!
