Noticed my urine is more dark yellow these days, im 13 weeks. Dont know if its the prenatal vitamins or i need more water. Is this normal ya should i worry?
Oh dear, I used to panic every time I went to the washroom and saw yellow urine, thinking something was wrong with the baby! But my doctor reassured me it's totally normal because of pregnancy multivitamins. Just drink 3 liters of water and don't stress yourself out like I did.
When I was staying at my parents' place, my mother would always check if I was drinking enough water and would give me barley water or buttermilk. She used to say yellow urine means body heat is high. Please take rest and have simple home-made cooling drinks.
I completely understand how scary every small change can feel when you are pregnant, your worry is totally valid. It is most likely just your daily vitamins or a bit of dehydration making it yellow. Just try to drink more liquids today, and if you still feel anxious, there is no harm in calling your doctor for peace of mind.
I had such terrible morning sickness that I couldn't keep even water down, which made my urine very dark yellow. If you are also vomiting a lot, try taking small sips of coconut water or lime juice to hydrate. It really helps bring the natural color back and settled my stomach.
Yellow urine is mostly due to dehydration or the prenatal vitamins you are taking, which contain B-complex. However, to be absolutely safe, it's best to ask your doctor if they want to run a routine urine test. Just keep drinking water and track how you feel.
Honestly, my urine looks like neon yellow right now because I am too tired to even get up and drink water every 10 minutes. Between the constant bathroom runs and the exhaustion, staying hydrated in this 3rd trimester is a full-time job!
Haha, with twins pushing on my bladder, I was in the bathroom every five minutes, so I got to see a lot of yellow urine! It's usually just your prenatal medicines acting up. Just gulp down water and prepare your bladder for the marathon ahead!
