Dehydration or something else?

[pinkapples]

I've been sick for the past 3 days and so have drank only water and eaten only dry toast sorry tmi but my wee has turned like a light orange colour is it dehydration or should I be worried next appointment with the midwife is on 9th April but have a 3D scan on Tuesday any ideas? Should I be worried? I'll be 30 weeks on Tuesday

Sounds like dehydration, try to drink as much as you can and keep an eye on it. If you're worrying, call labour ward as there will be a midwife there who can reassure you :)

Yes, it sounds like dehydration :-(

When I had HG and was sick 24/7, my midwife suggested drinking lucozade - not the fizzy one but the sports isotonic one, it helped to rehydrate me pretty quickly. I hope you feel better soon x

Hey pinky.
Yes, try to rehydrate but if you've still got symptoms by Tuesday morning I'd go to your GP with a urine dip, it could be a UTI. I've had a couple during my pregnancy and one of them made me sick. Hope you feel better soon

Thanks ladies how you doing faith?

Ready to pop! 36+5 now. Been under the weather with a cold but to be fair have only had 3 UTIs and two colds during the pregnancy so it could be worse! Looking forward to meeting baby now. Can't believe you're 30 weeks yourself!

I know it's mad! Just getting over a cold hubby has spent the last week in the spare room as I have been soundin like a hippo! He's back now tho thankfully! Hope everything's going well! Not long now then

Yeah, things are pretty good. Thought baby was breech but scan revealed its just poking a bony bottom out rather than a head! Geared up for baby to come any time in next 5 weeks!
