hey, i am 31 weeks along now and i am
discovering new things about my body. Now
i know that when you pregnant your cervial
mucus increases and becomes thicker. But
mine lately just changed to an egg white
appearance to yellow. Now i am soory for
the too much info lol but it doesn't
smell, it doesn't burn when i pee, i have
no cramps, no spotting and it doesn't look
like a yeast infection..... so should i be
worried about this? I see my Ob on june 11
but i don't know if i should get this
checked out, or if i'm worrying over
nothing. I also notice that when my
cervical mucus is yellow my urine is
darker too. Maybe i'm not drinking enough
water? Or perhaps not going pee often
enough at work. I don't think it's an
infection but maybe you guys might have
an idea whats going on:) thanks

urinary tract infection.... i have all of
those symptoms when i get one... but you
should still get checked out... if you
feel any cramping it would be spreading to
your kidneys, and if it does that it could
seriously harm your baby.... Also,
drinking allot of water will help you
quickly get over it

If your urine is dark at any time that is
a sign that you are close to dehydrated.
It is so important not to get dehydrated
during pregnancy, especially late in
pregnancy. If you don't have a uti
already, you're putting yourself at risk
of getting one if you aren't drinking
enough water. They say babies drink and
pass about a litre of amniotic fluid per
day and it's up to your kidneys to clean
that fluid and your body to replenish it.
That's more strain on your system and most
people don't drink enough water even when
they're not pregnant. Also, in the hotter
months it's a bit more dangerous to be
dehydrated because it can cause premature
labour later in pregnancy. Get checked
for a uti before it gets worse because
they can be very painful and uncomfortable
if they get bad. It's also dangerous if
you leave it because it can spread to the
kidneys.

When I went to the Dr. last week, I had
the same yellow discharge. I had just
gotten over a .u.t.i.
Come to find out, I had a slight bacterial
infection and had to insert a cream into
my vagina. He said he caught it in it's
first stages, so no antibiotics would be
needed.
I would say *def* talk to your Dr. about
it, asap!
