So I have my first doctor's appointment this morning at 10, for which I am certain I will be made to pee in a cup. All well and good, except that I can't really drink anything substantial until mid-afternoon lately without feeling godawful pukey. I'll often nurse a cup of tea in the morning for three hours and never finish it. But okay, so I can probably squeeze out enough to give them what they need. I can pee on pregnancy tests pretty much anytime, anywhere (it's a true talent!) so providing the sample for the doctor isn't my biggest concern.

However, immediately following the doctor's appointment, I have to head over for the ultrasound, for which I need to drink at least (consulting paper) 8-10 ounces of fluid 30-40 minutes before. (barf barf barf)

I'm hoping this one cup of tea, which actually is about two cups total, will be sufficient for both purposes.

Wish me luck.

I do remember for my 18-week ultrasound with Simon, I had a horrific stomach bug and been throwing up for 24 hours. I probably had 4 ounces of water in me at BEST and they still got what they needed and we got nice pictures. So, I'm thinking it will probably be fine. If worse comes to worse, they can just do the more invasive version, which will highly disturb my husband, I'm sure...
