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

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!

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!
