cloudy urine..

[simplyanonymous]

Ever since becoming pregnant, I have cloudy urine. I was treated for uti..took antibiotics...had my urinetested on january 15th..they would call if something was not right. I have tried to look up things online..which is making me nervous and confused. Such things as diabetes..gestational diabetes...preclampsia...ect I am just worried about it. I was wondering if anybody has experienced this and if everything turned out okay?

Yes I know. Just the way she said it made me laugh. I think that's probably the case. :) Appreciate the feedback! :)

Specific gravity is different for everyone and is higher when you aren't drinking and urinating a lot, once you loom at enough cups of urine you can usually call gravity by the color and clarity before you even test it lol.

Well I told my nurse and she said it could be white blood cells...she also said everybody's gravity is different haha I will have to talk to doc in february.

it can be a number of things.....the number one thing it is....your pregnant and pregnancy does crazy things to our bodies. this is one of them.

Shirano is right, most of the time it is just discharge mixed in with the urine. Even if it is that the urine is cloudy it isn't always a problem, mine is cloudy from time to time even when I'm not pregnant. Usually just means your should drink more water and urinate more often.

If they suspected gestational diabetes they can easily see that in your urine when you go for regular appts, I bring my pee with me to every appt and they tested mine last time and I was flagged for diabetes, I had blood tests done and go back for more testing tmrw, also for preeclampsia they test that based on your blood pressure, drink lots of water because I heard that your urine can get a cloudy look if your getting dehydrated too, if there was something major wrong they test for those things, but if you are worried just bring it up to your Dr :)

I had it, sometimes still do. It can be caused from not drinking enough water or the simple fact that we have a lot of discharge and it can get into our urine. I wouldn't be too worry. Your doctor will check you for diabetes and preeclampsia.  Just bring up the cloudy urine at your next appt.
