There’s a variety of ultrasound called the transvaginal ultrasound that uses something that looks like a dildo to basically go through the cervix instead of through the abdomen. I had one for very early pregnancy, when a regular transabdominal ultrasound would’ve been too hard.

Yeah, and you would think with a big ole dildo like that it would be a nice, relaxing few minutes on your back resulting in tension release.

But it’s not!

Sorry if this has been posted already, but, from [this NBC station’s website](http://www.nbc11.com/news/10762819/detail.html):

> [@](#):
>
> DJ: Can’t you get water poisoning and like die?
> 
> DJ2: Your body is 98 percent water. Why can’t you take in as much water as you want? …I know.
> 
> DJ: That is what I was thinking, maybe we should have researched this.
> 
> DJ2: Jennifer, congratulations on making it to the final two. How are you feeling?
> 
> Jennifer: I still have to go pee, but my stomach is like really, really full. I look like I am pregnant again. It’s pretty funny.
> 
> DJ2: How much longer do you think you can go Jennifer.
> 
> Jennifer: As long as my stomach will continue to let me. I don’t know. Maybe a couple more.
> 
> DJ2: Jennifer, I heard that you’re not doing too well.
> 
> ## Jennifer: My head hurts. They keep telling me that it is the water, that it will tell my head to hurt and then it will make me puke.
> 
> During the show, a listener calls in to warn the DJs that the stunt is dangerous and says someone could die.
> 
> “Yeah, we’re aware of that,” one of them says.
> 
> Another DJ laughs: “Yeah, they signed releases, so we’re not responsible. We’re OK.”
> 
> “And if they get to the point where they have to throw up, then they’re going to throw up, and they’re out of the contest before they die, so that’s good, right?” another one says.
> 
> Strange was found dead Friday in her suburban Rancho Cordova home hours after taking part in the “Hold Your Wee for a Wii” contest held by Sacramento radio station KDND FM.

Heh. It wasn’t that good, either. It’s just not as uncomfortable (or as orgasm-inducing) as it sounds.

Oh, honey, just you wait til they’re looking for ovarian cysts, but the doc can’t find your ovary and she’s diggin around in there and jammin that thing higher and higher and deeper and deeper.

Oh, yes. You’ll cry out, “Jesus!” and you’ll breathe heavier.

But not it a good way.
