Since I got pregnant I have noticed that my urine is really yellow in colour, even though I drink quite a bit of water its still very yellow, usually my urine is pale and pretty much colourless. It doesnt hurt to pee or anything its just yellow Anyone else had this at all? ------------- |

Hey Sheza are you taking any multivitamins?? They can tend to colour your urine - think it is the B vitamins ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

Mine did that too Sheza, maybe its the folic acid? I drank heaps of water too but didnt make a difference to me. I just chalked it up to one of those things that happens while you are preggy... ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

Mine went really cloudy early on in pregnancy so it may be the folic acid or something -------------

from what i know its just one of those fun pregnancy things..like the colour of discharge:) often it is because you aren't drinking enough...or drinking lots of stuff like juice..but if you are drinking enough water I wouldn't worry aboutt it...add it to the list of questions for mw though next time:) ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

I have heard that your urine can change colour while preg - just those extra hormones??? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Mine was cloudy early in pregnancy too. I just put it down to hormones, folic acid etc. |

Hi Sheza, I got a UTI whilst pg but didn't have any of the normal symptons, apparently the hormones can stop you from getting the stinging etc, and you need to pee every 5 mins anyway so wouldn't notice that. If it gets cloudy that is a really stong indication of an infection. Just to be on the safe side I would get tested for a UTI, is just a urine test. In the meantime you can take URAL which is safe during pregnancy and won't hurt to take even if you don't have a UTI.
I didn't really notice my infection until it travelled up to my kidneys and I got really bad back ache and then weird cramping pains and freaked out. But after that one I would check my urine and when it went cloudy I took URAL straight away to clear it. It is far easier to get a UTI when pregnant because of the hormones as well so is best to be on the look out. -------------

Hmmm that's pretty annoying... that most of us seem to be getting cloudy urine anyway in early pregnancy, but that can also be an indicator of otherwise symptomless UTI's! Sounds like another thing to worry about that is potentially normal anyway 
Inconsiderate UTI's. Hope it's just the preggy hormones and folic acid for u, Sheza! ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

Isnt the colour of your urine meant to be an indicator or what colour baby your having??? I'm sure that was one of the old wives tales along with which direction your pillow faces blah blah blah
