Dark Yellow wee?

[Mummatotwo!]

yep i agree with sarah, just have a few more glasses of water then usual today, i often get this and i just fill up a water bottle and drink that.

I have been to the docs WHILE i have had this darker wee, and he did a dip test and no sign of infection. SO i would put it down to dehydration, but if you are concerned go have a chat to your GP

Hope your wee is nice and clear

yeh mines dark yellow sometimes too... darker the more i "try" and hold on and first thing in the morning. I know its hard, just try and have a water bottle with u all day and take sips if u have to through out the day.

I have heaps of trouble drinking anything, unless im thirsty or my mouth is dry i forget
I fill about 3-4 water bottles up (600ml) and aim to drink atleast 1 bottle every 2-3hours.

Dark yellow urine is a sign of dehydration. You should try to drink at least 2 litres a day

I often have bright/dark yellow - particularly first thing in the morning. I drink at least 2.5L a day - does that mean I am not drinking enough water?

I always thought that taking vitamin tablets can make it darker too?

[[M]umma[M]ia]

it would make sense to have darker wee in the morning coz u havent had anything to drink for 8 or so hours. i would think 2.5 litres would be enough.

as for the vitamin tablets...not to sure on that one.

btw drinking lots of water flushes out ur insides and so there is less chance of u getting a urine infection. *bows to her water bottle* lol

Darker urine first thing in the morning is common and not a sign of dehydration. Some nedications can change the colour of your urine

AJC - mine is usually a bit darker in the morning too.... it's because we haven't been drinking water for 8hrs as we're asleep so don't worry about your first morning pee so much... sounds like you're plenty hydrated anyway!

My pee goes bright yellow (almost green! lol) sometimes with my vitamins but since being pregnant, i notice my body needs the vitamins more so it holds onto them since being pregnant hence my pee isnt that bright yellow much iykwim

Kate - you drinking all that OJ will also make your pee darker than usual!! all that Vit C!
