“Drink plenty of water… your urine is dark.”

“You’re carrying low… it’s a boy.”

“Your urine colour says you’re having a girl.”

Pregnancy is full of advice…

Some of it is helpful.

Some of it has been passed down for generations.

But can the colour of your urine REALLY tell you your baby’s sex?

Before you believe what you’ve been told…

Let’s separate fact from fiction.

Q: Good day doc, please what causes the colour of urine to change in pregnancy? Is it as a result of the baby’s gender?

A: Hallos! I assume congratulations are in order! I hope you enjoy this beautiful new state

Urine colour doesn’t necessarily change in pregnancy. What colour are we talking about here? If it’s darker, be sure that you’re getting enough fluids. You’re likely to urinate more during pregnancy though. Any colour change should be discussed with your doctor. And trust me, the urine colour says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the sex of your baby! Where did that come from?

Have you ever heard this myth before?
