What Causes Light Orange Colored Urine During Late Pregnancy?

So I am 39 weeks and two days. I just noticed when I went to the bathroom that my urine was a slight orange color. Not a deep orange just like a pale orange but not quite yellow. There s no odd smell or pain when urinating. Though if I don t empty my bladder frequently it hurts from baby putting pressure. There s no blood when I wipe either and I m not taking any medicine (this inclues vitamins as they were making me sick) my upper middle back and left ribs in the same area do hurt but I figured that was due to strained muscles. I also drink water all day so I don t believe I m dehydrated but it is possible. What other causes could well cause light orange-pink-yellow urine?

Hello!
I have been through your question.
Related your concern I think most probably could be an urinary tract infection.
Usually an urinary infection could change the urine color and it's possible to have bacteria in your urinary tract and have no symptoms. It is known that pregnancy greatly increases the risk of getting a urinary infection. So, what I suggest in your situation is to meet your doctor, do an urine test and if need it (if urine test is positive) a urine culture, azotemia/creatinemia (see renal function) in order to define better the reason of this situation and to decide to take medication or not.
I hope my answer help you.
