help my wee's gone orange!!!

[griffintribe]

Title says it all.

It was fine on Thursday when it was checked by midwife. Since then i had terrible stomach bug that lasted until yesterday.

On Friday urine went a very dark orange colour and still is regardless of how much i drink.

Tried to leave a sample with midwife but she's on holiday and i left it with reception. Been trying to call to make sure a midwife gets it but no one answers the phone.

I am 36 weeks any ideas

have you been eating a lot of carrots? - sounds daft but it can make your wee go orange

Have you eaten anything strange or anything in excess? Are you taking tablets for anything else?
Could still be from getting a bit dehydrtaed with your bug.

I was going to ask if you've eaten something with strong colouring too.
Better to be safe than sorry though and get it checked with a professional.
Call NHS direct if you don't get hold of anyone else today.
Good luck with the birth btw - not much longer for you now.

Are you on iron tablets?
They cover them with that artificial colour you see

Mine went a bright flourescent yellow in the first trimester - really freaky colour. I ended up dragging DH into the loo to admire it. I just assumed it was a preggers phase and it passed in a couple fo days.

Dark urine (not sure about orange!) can be a sign that something is wrong with your liver and is a possible symptom of pre-eclampsia. Other symptoms include headaches, visual disturbance, sudden swelling or pain under the ribs. If you have any of these you should get yourself to a doctor ASAP - if not it's still better to go and get checked out. Probably nothing but best to be sure. Good luck!

Hi peed orange aswell! no problems, midwife said normal aslong as having plenty of fluid and that yellow for girl and orange for boy!

senna can do that as well and those huge vitamin things

My wee is orangey too and has been for weeks regardless of how much I drink. incidentally, I'm 30 weeks pg with a baby boy!

Yes - I noticed my wee was more orangey this time - and I am carrying a boy this time around too!

Hope you are okay, it might be just a pregnancy thing - but do get checked out by dr just incase!

My wee has been darker than normal, more orangey I suppose, it's all fien though, has been like this for a while, and apart from a trace of protein is all OK.
(am 35 weeks btw, so it may be normal towards the end?)

Thanks everyone. Been Docs and have infection but nothing to worry about.

By the way we are having a girl
