Why is urine yellow during pregnancy?

Question

I've noticed my urine is often quite yellow since I became pregnant, sometimes even if I'm drinking enough water. Is there a specific reason why urine color might change or become more yellow during pregnancy? I'm just curious.

I totally understand how every small change makes us worry so much. It's usually just the iron and folic acid tablets, don't worry, dear.

My pregnancy tracker app always reminded me to drink 3 liters of water daily. Check if you are drinking enough, or it could just be your prenatal supplements.

Oh god, I panicked thinking I had some major kidney issue, but my doctor laughed and said it's just my tablets! Check with gynac if there is burning though.

Probably because you are avoiding water to escape those 100 trips to the washroom, haha! Drink up, otherwise it stays bright yellow.

It is just your body working hard to support a new life, stay positive. Keep drinking water, pray, and take care of your health.

Actually it's super common yaar, those yellow multivitamin tablets do this. Just keep drinking water throughout the day and you'll be fine.

It is mostly due to dehydration or pregnancy multivitamins. But if you feel any burning sensation or pain, please contact your gynac immediately to check for UTI.

I read online that prenatal vitamins with B-complex can cause bright yellow urine. Is that true? I am tracking everything before trying.
