What color is your pee?
Yep, staying gross this week. Down and dirty. Reminds me of being a teenager and laughing about things like pee and farts and all that lovely stuff. Maybe I’ve been watching too much That 70s Show reruns 
In all seriousness, this is a good question to ask yourself. If you are drinking enough water your pee will be almost clear with a slight hint of yellow. It may be bright yellow if you have recently taken a vitamin like C or the Bs. It will be bright but clear and transparent. If your urine is dark or cloudy it means you need to drink more water.
See, when you’re pregnant it’s all about this wonder liquid. They look at it every time you go in to the doctor’s, you spend all day making sure you have a place to GO, and if you don’t drink enough water to keep the stream flowing then your baby tells you. A week or two ago when it was super super hot here I got a little crampy and nauseous. Well, apparently pregnant women all over town were calling in with the same symptoms. We were all slightly dehydrated. The uterus lets you know if it the baby’s pool needs a fill up. Isn’t that nice?
I’m a pretty good water drinker and it even happens to me - some days i just don’t drink enough. You don’t just need to drink it if your pregnant but every body needs 8-10 glasses of water a day - more in the heat and if you are exercising alot. So, go on now drink your water and take a look at your pee
My favorite water right now is nice cold water from the PUR filter on our tap with some ice cubes and fresh cut strawberries, It is delicious - the longer the strawberries sit in your water the more the flavor releases. Then as a reward for drinking your full glass you get to eat the berries!
by the way, if you eat beets your pee may turn a little pink.

Now I have to pee
I dont have a problem usually drinking the water, but adding strawberries sure sounds yummy! Gonna have to get some and try that out this weekend. Bottoms up! Its tinkle time!!
Oh! Debbie you crack me up. I wonder if that is what all the guys look like on the golf course. I am sure it must be a sight. I like the strawberry idea too. I always know when I haven’t had enough water my fluids are concentrated also. Have a great week-end sista! with your little pee-wee! your son.
Now I have the sudden urge to go pee…
*RUNS to bathroom*
*runs back to puter*
It’s light yellow… now I’m thirsty from all that running. Think I’ll have a glass of water.
Huggggggggggggs,
Shan
Don’t it suck that every time you go to the doctor when your pregnant you have to pee in this little cup. I don’t know about you but I always missed the cup one way or the other. You would think they make the opening a lil bigger. I mean jeez where not men, I don’t know how to aim. LOL Have a great weekend.
I’ve been getting to know my pee very well over the last few months! I pee in a little cup every day to monitor and wait for an LH surge. One day it was very dark, almost brown, in color (I started new vitamins) and I took the little cup downstairs to show my husband. He wasn’t as excited about it as I was. But vitamins and medications do change the color!
Lmao! Ok ,nurse Debbie! Hmm think I may have to go soon! Now I know mine is healthy the color is right! But seriously, thanks for the info, and CHEERS!
I’ve heard some of this info before so since starting my weight loss I shoot for clear pee. But really, I should be doing this all the time. Thanks for the reminder. This was a great blog!
HA! I love that ’sculpture’. It’s by Franz Kafka, and it’s in the little hidden away square in Prague, Chech. Republic. The hip/groin area of the two guys actually swivels back and forth, and the ‘pool’ they are peeing into is actually in the shape of the Chech. Republic! It definitely kept me highly amused when I saw it!
I use to drink so much it was clear and now that is just too much stress on the kidneys! - Going to the bathroon 1-2 times an hour is excessive drinking. I do hear that pregnant woman and those with diabetes tend to go to the washroom more often though.
But you are right, drinking more when it is hot is crucial. If I start to feel a bit sluggish I know I have not drank enough. Nice idea with the fruit in the water. I LOVE lime in either water or club soda. These days I find I need a little salt with all the sweating.
peeing and pooping…. good stuff and we should not be shy about it. Great blog!
Debbie you crack me up…I have been a long time pee watcher myself…lol that’s exactly how I know if I’m drinking enough.
LMAO ok this is a problem at my house…our toilet water is blue…LOL
Should I be looking to see if my pee turns the water green?!
~Going right now to get a glass of water. I really like the strawberry idea. too cool
HA!!! Nice picture. Love it!
