Embarrassing question!

[H16]

Hi All,

This is a bit of an odd question but has anyone experienced foul smelling urine during pregnancy? I have had it on and off for the last couple of weeks, don't know if my nose is just more sensitive due to pregnancy or if it can be a symptom?!

You may have a UTI, go see your doctor to give a pee sample so he can check it for you!

if its darker and stronger in colour you really arent drinking enough apparently we need to drink three times as much when we are pregnant

There was a thread about this before it turned out to be folic acid that makes it smell funny ,when you put that together with a very sentensive nose . xx

note to self must drink more water lol

I read in a pregnancy book that all the hormones can make it smell more pungent, especially if you don't drink enough water

Thanks all. I am really thirsty all the time no matter how much water I drink so maybe I need to try drinking even more lol. Will get it checked out this week though as I am prone to UTI's.

I was same Helen...I don't have a uti but got a proper telling off from the midwife for drinking too much juice. Urine was too concentrated! Pepsi was the only thing I could keep down! Ha! I've switched to diluting orange and drinking loads and it is much better I have to say! Bet that's what it is! Xx

You might be right....I have become addicted to orange juice since becoming pregnant lol. Will try n cut it down n see what happens

I've always been a fizzy juice fan....I was on a stick detox for 6 weeks at the start of my pregnancy (didn't know) so it was the one thing I really missed. Going back to it felt amazing! Yummy! Haha! Good luck, you will notice a difference quickly. I did in a few days. Xx
