It can honestly be due to a bunch of different things. Certain foods and dyes, medicines, virus, etc etc. Are you eating anything in particular? Are you taking prenatals? If so, are they OTC or prescription. Many women overlook Iron when they get an OTC prenatal, and it's extremely important to have, otherwise you risk anemia and illness. If you're not taking any, start them immediately. If you are, check to make sure they have Iron and the proper content--pregnant women usually need 27 mg a day. If it's prescription, no need to worry as it has everything you need in it.
