My pee is brown.

[cat19]

Yep, that about sums it up.  I have no symptoms of anything.  No changes in diet or vitamins.  Not dehydrated.  But my pee is brown.  WTF?!? 

[devotchka]

Eep. Are you drinking enough water? I would call your OB/Midwife/Preggo care provider and see if they can run some tests.

[biblionerd]

I would call your OB. There could be lots of things, but you could have a uti and not know it or other reasons for dark urine. Could just be nothing and you could need to chug more water!

[TrudyCampbell]

I would definitely call.

[cat19]

I called. It's after hours and I'm not in pain so the on call service said to call back if I'm in pain or to call first thing tomorrow if I'm not. Yeay.

[AndyCohen]

Yeah you should definitely call. You don't want to leave a UTI untreated. I had one last month and didn't know it and it moved into my kidneys and was really bad.

[TrudyCampbell]

Drink A TON of water. Then drink more water. Then drink a little more. See if that helps!

[carawestt]

Way to be helpful after hours line. Not! I would just drink a ton of water.

[cat19]

I just drank a half liter. Going to drink more, but I know for a fact I am not dehydrated. I've had so many UTI's, but always had symptoms - even when pregnant. I just hope that I don't have to deal with pain and can call in the AM. Blarg.

Dude I hate how they brush everything off that seems like it could be something but make a big deal out of little things. Sorry, maybe I am just projecting shit leftover from my own pregnancy But it seems like BROWN urine is something they could have you pee in a fucking cup and run a few tests for.

Hopefully it's nothing but I would say if you have a "bad feeling" about it even if you have no symptoms, make them squeeze you in at least to see a nurse and pee in a cup.

[Faevantastic]

Hope it's nothing. Good luck!

I would have to go to the hospital if I went tonight, so I'll hold off unless I'm in pain.  That'll cost me $75 to pee in a cup.  I know they will see me tomorrow when I call, it's just a matter of what time.

That's true, I forget you're an east coaster Sorry. Hope you get the answers you need and stay pain-free...

Me too! Thanks!

Could you drink cranberry juice, just to be safe? I know most people can't handle 100%, but I love that stuff.

I would, but I know that screws up the test for a UTI.  So if I come back all clear tomorrow I'll be having my cran apple that I mix at home for a few days... I like mixing it myself better then the junk you get at the store!
