i realize this is a Too Much Info question but i have to ask. I am 11 weeks along and all i drink is water. But my urine is a dark yellow almost to a light green. i drink large amounts of water but cannot get the urine to a clear "healthy" color. Did anyone have this happen or know if it means something.

Infection may cause the urine to be abnormal in color and cloudy.

You should be drinking about 2qts of fluids preferable 1 qt of water and the rest a combo of milk, juice or tea or even more water.
Your urine is probably a yellow color because of your vitamins...So long as you are getting extra ones from your supplement your body has to dispose of the ones it is not using and in the urine is the best way, during your pregnancy your urine may never be completely clear.

Sometimes your prenatal vitamins can cause discoloration of your urine. Also, some foods (even some vegetables) can do the same.
Dark urine is not always a sign of dehydration. As long as you are drinking adequate water, and your urine is not giving off a strong, concentrated smell, you should be fine.
But like I said, a lot of prenatal vitamins can cause this. If it still bothers you, you can contact your doctor to ask. They would rather you ask a simple question like this than to disregard it and it ends up something serious. I hope this helps.

Urine is your bodys way of getting rid of excess water and toxins. You have alot of new chemicals flowing through your body and some excess at that, in addition the foods you eat can determine the color of your pee, plus you more toxins because your baby excretes them too, and rid both your bodies through peeing...
I would not consider it to be anything at all to worry about, however, the smartest thing to do is to call your doctor and ask! It's free and he/she won't think it's a stupid question, when it comes to pregnancy it's alwyas better safe than sorry!

Color changes in the urine are probably related to either your vitamins or a medication you are taking.

If you are taking Prenatal vitamins, this is the cause for the discoloration. Mine made my urine an almost orange color.
However, if you are feeling ANY discomfort or pain, get yourself to a doctor to be checked for UTI (Urinary Tract Infection.)
Just be sure to mention it at your next doctor visit.

Are you taking any supplements or vitamins? These sometimes color your urine.

The dark urnine must be bad toxans or bacteria releasing out of your system..

If you are taking your prenatal vitamins, they are probably the culprit ~ especially if you didn't have this before. Good Luck and Congrats!!!!!!!!!
