I felt so worried when I first saw dark yellow urine. But my doctor explained it was just the folic acid tablets and dehydration, which was such a relief.

It is normal, but make sure to drink at least 3 liters of water. If you feel any burning sensation, follow up with your doctor to rule out a UTI.

Yes, it is very common, especially if you are taking prenatal vitamins. Looking back, mine was bright yellow almost the whole time, so don't worry.

Oh yes, mine looked like neon yellow! It's usually just your pregnancy multivitamins doing their magic, nothing to panic about.

Yes! Between the twin pregnancy vitamins and forgetting to drink water because I was running to the loo constantly, it was always bright yellow.

Very common indeed, mostly due to prenatal vitamins and dehydration. Just drink more water.
