Ketones
I am ten weeks pregnant and have been feeling a bit low the past week. Pain when I go to the toilet, though not much, and my wee is just dark (though not extremely dark) and smells a bit. It turns out I have a trace of ketones in my urine at the moment.
I think sometimes I forget to eat enough and drink enough, definitely. That has something to do with it as well, right?
I don't have a midwife appointment until next week most likely and as there aren't large amounts of ketones in my urine, I'm not freaking out or anything. I'm just curious as to if any of you ladies would know of things that would help or be good to do?
I know it sounds gross, but I also had staining on my underwear last night. It's not spotting or blood as far as I can see it but it just looks like dark urine staining, if that makes sense? It did give me a fright at first because I thought it was old blood or amniotic fluid but my common sense is telling me it's not. There's nothing when I wipe, so in my opinion it's all good.
Thank you!
