Thank you Adam Sandler for that awesome quote and thank you bladder! It was a close call, but I am still not that cool!
So my latest trip to the OB's was interesting... I went in for my monthly sono to check on my little follies. That's nothing new, but the technique I was told would be used was new to me. I normally get the magical wand internal sono. This time I was told an external sono was planned. The external sono requires you to come in with a full bladder. You pee one hour before the test and then drink 32oz of water.
So, things got interesting because I am pretty sure I have the worlds tiniest bladder. I get up almost every night for a toilet trip and average around 2 trips per hour during the day. ( I know! What the hell!?! I'm not even pregnant yet! I may as well build a home office equipped with a toilet or find a way to make it acceptable to have a chamber pot in my office.)
Anywho. 32 oz of water is a lot. 1 whole hour without being able to use the rest room is uncomfortable. 15 minutes of waiting at the doctor's office anticipating pressure on your stomach...AHHHH... pure torture. I feel like this could potentially be used as a military tactic. Those folks that won't talk when they get waterboarded... just find a way to make them hold their pee forever...
Nurse comes out, calls my name, I stand scared to use my extremley tightly crossed legs. Success! No pee on the floor!
We walk back to the sono room.
Nurse: "Do you feel like you need to use the rest room"
Me: "(in my head..DUH! I'm pretty sure I might pee on you if you touch me! Out loud... "Why yes I do"
Nurse: "Well, I will need you to empty your bladder. We are going to proceed with an vag sono today"
Me: " (in my head... What !@!@* ?? Then I feel calm and hear the halleluja chorus plaing. Out loud... " No problem, and thank you"
I guess I have learned a valuable lesson today. No, I do not enjoy the magic wand sono, but I think I prefer it to the other option.
Folli update: Those little guys weren't quite big enough for an injection so I will be returning to the office later this week for more magic wand time!
