HELP! High temp and a very fast beating heart

[Mum2SweetCs]

Was just about to reply. You read my mind Falguni.

DD has the flu, we went to the docs this morning and she vomitted all over me and the doc (again!). She had the flu a few weeks ago but the doc said this is a different strain.

Anyway, i need to go back with a urine sample. How do I get that from a 16mth who is definitely not toilet trained?

Do i just squeeze it out of the nappy? but the disposibles have chemicals in them as well

or should i put her in one of her cloth nappies and squeeze it from then?

Thanks Falguni!

Thanks all

you can get urine collectors from your gp. its a little bag that is sterile that you stick over her girly bits and it catches the wee as she does it

or let her go without a nappy and try and catch it as she does it not easy tho.

we use the collectors for DD they work well make sure the area is clean and dry before putting it on or it wont stick properly.

Pop into the drs, they should be able to give you what's called a 'pediatric collection' bag. It's like a little plastic bag that you can stick over their vulva (inside the nappy) and it catches the urine, you can tip it into the sterile jar from there.

ah damn, i cant walk there again.

DD was very distressed hence why we rushed to get out of the docs surgery and he rang back telling me to collect her urine.

Is it okay to squeeze it out from a nappy?

[feeb]

No as it needs to be an uncontaminated catch, which is how the bag works they wee straight into bag and u then tear corner and tip into jar.

Can you ask someone to go and pick it up for you??

best not to
id go with the nappy free time and wait and catch some, have you got the yellow top sterile container?
