TMI but reddish pee @ 38+6?

[wannabedomesticgoddess]

I havent had any mucus or blood when I wipe etc. But today at MILs I got extremely uncomfortable. I couldnt sit, had to lie down because of a dull pain in my abdomen.

So DP was driving us home and I had quite a sharp pain. It wasnt in the bump but was in my lower abdomen.

Just went to the loo and the pee had a pinkish/reddish tinge to it. DP agreed it looked red. (Oh the shame )

Google says it could be a uti or kidney infection, but apart from today I have had no pains, no running to loo etc etc. My pee has been quite dark throughout this pregnancy, even when I drink 2l of water a day.

Should I be concerned? Baby still moving as normal. My pee showed up clear only a week ago at a check up.

I think you should ring your midwife. What happened a week ago is irrelevant.
Good luck.

It could be a bit of blood from your show. With DS, my show started as blood rather than mucus and when mixed with urine it did look pinky/red. Go and get it checked out anyway (I did as didn't know a show could start as bleeding) but this might be it. Good luck!

Thanks. I rang the EAU in the maternity dept and she said its either a bit of the show or a uti. I have to leave a sample down to the nurse at the GPs tomorrow and ask her to check.

Im getting pains now and feel a bit like I need a poo but not really. Cant tell if its uti pains or not.

Really fucking bad timing. We are homeless on friday. Oh God :(

Thanks for replies! :)

How are things today?

Sample was clear so they think it was a bit of a bloody show.

All the pains have stopped so I think it was braxton hicks.

Really need to keep it in until after the weekend!

Good luck!!
