I would ask you Dr. Thats how i can tell if i have a uti since they are common in pregnancy.... please get it checked. If left untreated it can cause really bad lower pain, and even lead to preterm labor

I've been drinking water with some squash inside to give a bit of flavour. By the first day you will notice it get lighter. And when you go to your appointments you will always do a pee test so they can see if you are dehydrated and any problems in your urine

Drink lots of water. 8 cups of water a day is what you should be drinking. That's 64 oz or 2 quarts. Personally I drink a gallon of water a day. If you're not a fan of water try fruit infused waters

It just means you need to drink more water..I have the same problem.I hate drinking water. I put a lemon in it so at least it has a lil flavor.

I agree.  Usually if I drink more, it gets lighter.  If you have any burning when you go, then talk to your doctor as well as a UTI will also change the color of your urine.  good luck

Above post is right. Are you drinking 8 to 10 cups of water a day? Less causes darker pee.
