Today, my wife started a 24 hour urine collection as directed by the doctor for her pregnancy. She has to collect the urine in a gallon jug, and refrigerate it. At lunch time, I went to go get the rest of my sandwich but was unable to find it, until she suggested I "look under the piss jug." FML

I thought it was funny. I understand the seriousness of pre-eclampsia since it happened with our first child too. Don't get on a high horse with me. I support my wife through and through, just had a funny moment I wanted to share.

For a sec I thought the FML was going to be that you mistook it for lemonade or green tea and took a swig.

Best bet is to get a small cooler with ice in it to keep in the bathroom. Saves from frustration and keeps her piss out of the fridge.

This has Trailer Park Boys written all over it

Uhh... I'm confused as to why she needs to collect urine in the first place

It's for glucose testing. Most pregnant women who show even small signs of elevated blood sugars get the joy of a 24 hour urine test.

Too bad you don't have a pee fetish...

Suddenly a wild piss jug appeared and vanquished all hopes of a satisfying lunch. I hate it when that happens

I thought she/he would drink it and think it's apple juice like some people do

To be fair, it's not like you drank it. And even if you did, urine is pretty sterile unless she has an infection.

No, your wrong. Urine is not sterile, even before it comes out of you and gets contaminated by your skin. Bacteria are present at low levels in the urine of healthy people not suffering from a urinary tract infection.

Gross, for sure. But it's probably much worse for your wife. Living with bladder pain is miserable - trust me, I know - so get over your squeamishness, suck it up and be supportive of her. In the meantime, check out IC-help.org and kidney.org and educate yourself about people with real problems and how you can help your wife instead of being a big pu$$y.

You haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. I support my wife 100 percent through this pregnancy, just as I did with the last. Bodily fluids and functions don't bother me in the least. I found the fridge situation funny and wanted to share, nothing more.
