Help!

I went to the Dr on Wednesday for my weekly shot and baby check up. That all went great. However my urine test turned the stick purple. The Dr said she was sending a urine culture out to see if it grows anything. I notice today my urine has a funny smell and I wipe really good but now I notice my underwear smells like it too. I mean as soon as I go to pee I can smell it. If the culture doean't grown anything what could it be? My lower pelvic area has been getting hard for a couple weeks and the dr said its probably the baby but if I get more than 6 in an hour to call them. My belly doesn't get hard. Im scared because I went into active labor at 24 weeks with my daughter and I will be 22 weeks on saturday. I dont drink soda at all and I drink lors of water. Any advise? Thanks

A purple can either mean a presence of leukocytes, meaning a UTI.  Or your ketones are high, which means you're dehydrated.
They are different parts of the stick so it's one or the other.  Most likely a UTI then which can make your urine smell musty :-P.

Maybe a UTI? I'm not sure what it could be. I have had the odor when I urinated and I was told it was UTI after they did urine tests and stuff. Hopefully you will get the results soon.
