It is true that there is no gain without pain; similarly, greater the gain greater is the risk attached. Probably that is why pregnancy evokes such high hopes as well as fears and anxieties of the highest order. As it is, the changes associated with pregnancy are serious ones and it is not easy to deal with them at the physical as well as mental level. On top of it, safety of the fetus becomes a matter of over riding concern, as it is not easy to know what may help or harm it.

First time pregnant ladies are anyway a nervous lot, and even old timers cannot afford to be very complacent, as pregnancy symptoms are mysterious by themselves. Every day is a new day bringing along fresh challenges. Any new change gives rise to anxiety. One such sign is change in the color of urine. Normally, urine is light yellow, but very often, pregnant women are alarmed at noticing yellow urine.

Pregnancy guide, whether from our well-wishers, our doctor, books or even the friendly Internet, tells us that it is to be aware of warning signs, but we should never panic and must take quick measures. In this case, although urine color is a marker for many conditions, in this case, it is very normal due to dietary changes. However, if the color of urine is very dark yellow, it is a sign of dehydration and water intake needs to be increased.

Barring very few cases, normal pregnancies have a very normal share of problems, and hence must be treated normally only. This means, the woman should try and maintain a positive mental state of mind, should eat and rest sensibly, and follow the doctor’s advice in pregnancy exercise. Tension and physical strain are totally taboo and physical posture should be right all the time.
