That can also be a sign of a yeast infection, Urinary tract infection, and so on. It's not a specific pregnancy sign, although with the hormones changing it can cause urine to change too.

It's also a sign you're not drinking enough water.

Answer by ballewal at 1:17 PM on Dec. 2, 2010
A sign of many things, as the others mentioned.

Answer by tyfry7496 at 1:18 PM on Dec. 2, 2010
Yes to the above 3.

Could be what you've ingested as well - vitamins in particular can do that. I don't think changes in urine have anything to do with being pregnant. Except for the frequency of course! :)

Your prenatal vitamins can cause changes in the urine color as well as the smell of it, the outside of the bottle should say so.

When I got pregnant with my dd this time my pee turned almost clear....b/c I was drinking lots of water and no other types of drinks.

But the other ladies are right MANY things can change the color of your pee...like vitamins, infections...drinks etc...

Answer by mom2twobabes at 1:32 PM on Dec. 2, 2010
I agree with all the ladies.

Answer by sta517 at 1:33 PM on Dec. 2, 2010
That description of urine can be a myriad of different things. Infection, pregnancy, imbalances, etc.

Answer by misslissaj3 at 1:38 PM on Dec. 2, 2010
My mom told me that your urine turns lighter... but I've had both since I been preggo... :\ didn't help much I guess...
