Orange urine?

Ok so for the last 3 days I've been losing a lot of mucus n last night n this morning as I went to the bathroom my urine was a very orange color that I had not seen before along with a no good smell. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm 38 weeks by the way

Pre-eclampsia is thought to happen when the placenta isn't working properly. It can make you and your baby quite ill if you don't receive the treatment you need. 

Pre-eclampsia causes the flow of blood through the placenta to be reduced. This means that your baby won't get enough oxygen and nutrients. High blood pressure and to much protein in ur urine

That's not normal. I would go to the doctor. I know that a change in the color of urine can be a sign of preeclampsia. Especially since there's an odor I would see a doctor. Don't want to scare you but since you could go into labor at anytime now it's best to make sure everything is ok with both you and the baby.

Usually dark coloured urine with a strong odour is a sign of you being dehydrated. Prehaps try and up your water and fluid intake and see if it makes a difference.
