    So all is well right now - went to the OB today and we talked a bunch - no interanl this week at all...
    About an hour ago I went to the bathroom and noticed my pee was discolored - looks a little on the brownish side?? Nothing else going on at all, no cramping, no contractions, just peeing a little more today maybe...
    Do you think it could be a UTI and should I call the doc in the morning?

    I had a UTI at the beginning of this pregnancy.. Had 5 other babies and never had one before.. Then when I went in they said you have a UTI :huh: I didn't have any signs of having one though.. so could be one

    If in doubt call your doctor. In the mean time drink a TON of water to help flush out any infection that might be there. I have had 3 UTI's this pregnancy alone. UTI #2 didn't present with any symptoms typical of a UTI. I was having contractions and went to the hospital and sure enough when I got there they did the lab work and showed I had a UTI. It is always better to be safe than sorry! Good luck! Keep us posted.

    I've never personally had a UTI so I couldn't really tell you. However, I would just drink a bunch of water and see if your urine goes back to it's usual color. Watch your body for contractions which happens a lot of time with UTI's. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    I would call the doctor to be on the safe side. I had a UTI early on in the pregnancy, had no idea I had one, until the OB office called me at work and told me after they ran one of my urine tests.

    If it's a UTI you can take D-Mannose while pregnant. I had a UTI with the twins, the Dr. gave me antibiotics, but I decided to try the d-mannose first and it worked. Do and internet search on d-mannose. It is by far my most favorite recommendation of a natural supplement. Also you can take it with antibiotics! I hope you are feeling better soon.
