Smelly wee! Embarrassing!!!

[ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight]

My wee has become really smelly. I don't think I'm dehydrated, I think it's just a pregnancy thing, but it's so bad I can smell myself
I have a bit of bladder leakage when I sneeze and when that happens I immediately smell it and I'm sure everyone else can. I smell nasty first thing in the morning even when I have a bath the night before. It's really embarrassing and horrible Does anyone else have this?

BTW I know pelvic floors will help with the weeing problem and I'm doing them! (sort of)

[ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight]

sugar puffs? No I don't think so! just strong...but not normal wee smell. How annoying. Will it stay until it's born?

[piratecat]

omg I was just goign to say that when i was pg many yrs ago (6) my wee smelt like sugar puffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lackaDAISYcal]

wee smelling of sugar puffs is indicative of high blood sugar I think!

it probably isn't as bad as you think you know. Your nose becomes incredibly sensitive when you are pregnant (for the purposes of sniffing out your baby I assume) so it's probably only you that can smell it. I think I smell as well, and have loads of CM too so that isn't helping. DH says I smell just the same to him (and he has been much closer than my nose can get )

tena lady liners have odour neautralisers in them, so a stop gap until you get your pelvic floor strengthened a bit?

you been eating asparagus?

[littleboyblue]

Think we've all had that! Mine starts right at the beginning it's how I know I'm pregnant, I always say to dp, my pee smells again will get a test tomorrow and it always comes positive. Don't know if it lasted thru whole pg, maybe I just got used to it.
No one else can smell it though I'm pretty sure of that. Unless you have a massive leak

[ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight]

Maybe you are right - it just seems so strong! I might get some panty liners - tena lady, how embarrassing!!!

[lackaDAISYcal]

welcome to the wonderful experience that is pregnancy

just wait for the varicose veins and piles

[Minkus]

like nowwearefour says eating asparagus makes your wee pong! And so does corned beef for some reason (well in our house anyway )

[orangehead]

Is it just strong or offensive smell? It might be worth dropping a sample of at gp incase a infection

[Tinkerisdead]

Mine smells strange too, def stronger. I can only describe it like when you smell a wet nappy, it doesnt smell of stale wee like a mans urinal, just a different smell but strong!! mine went bright yellow too!! ha ha.

[bethoo]

mine smells of sugar puffs too! usually first thing in the morning!
how to spot a pregantn lady!

[dgomez]

I would get a urine test just in case, anyway I also noticed that the smell is a bit different than usual, I get a urine test once a month/6 weeks, and once it came out positive and I had an infecction which was cured using a cream for 5 nights. Or maybe it could be a bit of cystitis?

[littleboyblue]

I had a urine test done just to be sure and I do have an infection, there's no discomfort or stinging or anything so would reccommend you go too.

[EEC]

I had the same thing - it seemed to last for about three weeks at about 6 months. No infection - just a wierd temporary thing. The mind boggles as to what all these symptoms mean. It did coincide with me being very stressed and busy, but probably a coincidence. I was concerned about it at the time, should have asked on mn!

[Mimsy2000]

mine has smelled funny too but i've just assumed it's because of my bionic pregnancy nose

[Singingintherain]

Mine has been the same. I am not sure if it is because you are better at noticing this sort of thing more.

My urine samples have come back ok.
