I've noticed my pee smells stronger than usual since the last few days and im about 7 weeks. No burning or anything, just the smell. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or should i worry?
My gynac said yes, it can change due to hormones and being slightly dehydrated, plus prenatal vitamins make it stronger smelling sometimes. She told me the thing to watch is if its accompanied by burning, urgency or cloudiness, that points to infection which is common in pregnancy and treatable.
Yes! I noticed this early on and felt a bit weird about it. My sense of smell went super sharp in pregnancy so I think that made it seem stronger too. It was one of the small changes nobody warns you about honestly.
Quite common. Hormones, the heightened smell sense, and the vitamins you take can all change it. Just keep drinking enough water. But if it smells really foul or you feel burning while peeing, that could be a UTI, get a urine test done then.
A mild change is normal but I'll flag this gently, UTIs are really common in pregnancy and can be sneaky. If the smell is strong and off, or there's any burning or fever, please do a simple urine test with your doctor. Mine got caught that way early.
