This might be a hey Gina type question. I've taken 3 doses of amoxicillin since yesterday morning (1 in the morning 1 at night). My pee all day has been dark even with drinking water all day, so I know I'm not dehydrated. It also has a smell to it, and not like a normal pee smell. Should I be concerned?

[trixi282]

I'm none of the listed qualifications, and I haven't had amox in a long time. But certain antibiotics do that to me too... so I always assumed it was normal.

Just dark yellow? IT's normal for antibiotics to change your pee color and smell so I wouldn't worry too much.

Yes it's safe.  I think docs say to avoid in first tri but you are past that now so it's fine.

THIS IS LYFE CHANGING INFORMATION. THANK YOU!!

I feel like a Wendy Whiner lately because I've been sick so much so I've just been lurking in the shadows. There is a ton of conflicting info on sudafed so I've just avoided it but I'm miserable and sending H to the drug store tomorrow morning.

[bantyrooster]

Normal. And yes sudafed is fine. I took it with both kids and they are both pretty normal. I even got the okay for a couple afrin squirts when pregnant with Ellison.

[somethingcleverer]

I know I took Sudafed while pregnant. I believe it's category B after first tri, I would take it if I were miserable. Having a little one and being sick and pregnant is awful. I remember being sick so often when I was pregnant with Aubrey and it was rough do what you can to feel bette!
