Urine is bright yellow - Prenatals Vitamins ? Posted: 10-01-07 09:24am


Hi, my urine is bright yellow. I am beginning my 13th week this week. What could be causing it to be so bright? I am taking the Prenatals, so I thought maybe that was the cause. Usually this happens when I don't drink enough fluids, but I am for sure getting enough fluids now.

If it usually happens when you don't get enough to drink, you are getting dehydrated. You need to drink more fluids. This can also be from the vitamins you are taking. It has nothing to do with pregnancy. Just keep drinking water.

Okay, I'll try that. All I do is dring water anymore. I feel like I spend the whole day peeing it all out as I drink it. Thanks for you advice. I read online that Prenatals can cause that, but I think you are right and I am getting dehydrated. But man, oh man, I'm only 13 weeks and going to the bathroom every other few minutes.

Prenatals definitely can cause it...it's the B vitamins in the prenatals...for most of the B vitamins, your body takes what it needs and the waste products are execreted in the urine. It can turn your urine bright yellow. If you're drinking plenty of water, that's probably what it is.

I agree with the others. Some prenatal vitamins can change the color of your urine/feces. Another cause for bright yellow urine is dehydration. Make sure you are consuming plenty of water.

Prenatals Vitamins will cause the bright yellow. If you were dehydrated itwould be a dark yellow, amber color. Not to worry!
