Strong urine smell in late pregnancy

[Marley]

No, not often, maybe once a week I might have a milky coffee using half a teaspoon of instant in a full mug of milk. Tea would be about once every two days, if that.

mmmm not sure then, i know after a coffee that what my urine is like, maybe ring and ask your ob/midwife

[Marley]

I asked her the other day but she was not sure what it was. She suggested I drink more water and see if that helps. It's a bit embarrassing as I feel like people can smell it on me too

it sounds like you're not getting enough fluid. You need to drink lots and lots of water coz your amniotic fluid is on some crazy replacement scheme every few hours atm

[Marley]

OK, I will, although I've been increasing it for the last two days but maybe I need to be a bit more patient. Thanks

I had this in my late PG. In fact, it was so bad that I was banished to using our en suite toilet!

I drank heaps of water and didn't drink tea or coffee.

I never got to the bottom of what it was, but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.

Wow, well there you go! It is consoling to know it happened to someone else, although not that I would wish it upon anyone! Sorry that you were banished to the ensuite tho!!

Was it, by any chance, Summer at the time, and hot?
