Anyone else’s urine smell strongly towards end of pregnancy?

Past couple weeks when I use the bathroom, my urine smells strongly. Like when it does with eating asparagus. Online says could be hormonal changes, UTI, preeclampsia (protein in urine)

My blood pressure has been normal. No pain down there. Anyone else experiencing this?

I’m 38+4 and mine has for a few weeks now. Dr tested urine when it started and all was good so its probably just hormonal for me. Let your dr know at your next appt, can’t hurt to mention it in case you have a UTI or other infection.

That's how mine was for a few weeks. My urine is tested at every appt and I'm super healthy so I wouldn't worry about it much. Most likely hormones and prenatals. Just keep spraying after you go like I did lol. I know it's embarrassing

Mine is the same way. Most likely hormonal.

I’m 39 weeks and just noticed this too! was thinking about mentioning it on my next appointment.

Are you hydrated ?

It’s likely just the hormone shifts

Mine smells like coffee but I haven’t drank any lately. 37 + 5

Yes...at 38w mine smelled stronger and I had a lot of discharge

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!
