Question -
Hi,

My last period came on May 7, 2005. I know I am pregnant, and I've noticed that my urine is very Yellow.
It's not the color that it used to be, It's like a crayon yellow.
Could anything be wrong?
Answer -
The color of your urine is due to bile salts, and the cncentration  of the urine. As long as you do not have frequency of urination, burning on urination, or urgency (the feelinig that you have to go but when you try, very little comes out) you do not have to worry. If you ahve any doubts, take a culture and sensitivity of your urine. If it is normal, forget about the color. Try drinking plenty of water. Water will dilute the urine and it should return to its normal color.



Hi,

I haven't told you, but it's my first pregnancy. Before I became pregnant my urine was a normal color. I did start drinking coke lately, because I was told it's good for queasyness.

Answer
Coke may help you with the nau\sea and vomiting of pregnancy. HOwever, the color of your urine may be due to concentration of urine. I would still recommend that you drink plenty of water, which will dilute the urine and it should return to its normal color. Coke will not turn urine yellow.
