What does dark yellow urine mean during pregnancy?

Question

Noticed my urine is quite dark yellow since yesterday and now thoda tension ho raha hai. Im in second trimester. Is it just water kam or something to worry about?

Actually yaar, dark yellow urine is mostly just due to dehydration or those strong pregnancy multivitamins we take. Just double your water intake and if the color still doesn't change, ask your doc on your next visit.

Kavya Taneja · Answer

It usually means dehydration, so try to drink more water and fluids throughout the day.

Dark yellow urine usually means you need to drink a lot more water, especially if you are physically active or doing prenatal walks. Keep a water bottle handy and aim for at least 3 liters daily unless your doc advised otherwise.

In this third trimester, I feel like I live in the bathroom but my urine is still dark yellow sometimes because I get too lazy to drink water. Just keep sipping water, otherwise acidity and fatigue will get worse!

If your dark yellow urine is accompanied by burning sensation or lower back pain, it could be a UTI, which is risky during pregnancy. Please consult your gynac immediately for a urine routine test.
