    Thanks girls. I will do as you advice as I have also had a US where my bladder was too full and I had to empty a bit. Thats the hardest thing I ever have had to do. I will do as you suggest and just drink a couple of glasses about 10-15 before my appointment. I am sure that it will be fine cause my bladder fills up surprisingly fast. I am still going to practice though. Thanks

    Ok I am going to try the advice of peeing 30 minutes before and then drinking till I am full just before appointment. I am practicing now actually. Will do every day that I can until appointment. I need to conquer this fear anyway. I have always had the fear that when I need to pee I cant for what ever reason like traffic, on the train or no toilets around. It came from a young age when my dad wouldn't stop the car for me to pee. Now the fear and anxiety of it makes it worse. I can usually hold on ok if I know that there is a toilet right near me if I need it. So I might even go to the appointment early and just drink the fluids while I am there. Its such a silly thing to be fearful of I know, but its very real to me. Thanks for being kind enough to give your advice, I feel better knowing I can cheat a bit.
