really red pee -- after-hours call??

in Pregnant after a Loss

Hi ladies. I just peed and it was very red. My first fear was blood coming from the cervix, but I really don't think that was it. No blood on my underwear, no blood on the toilet paper, I washed my hands and checked with a finger -- nothing but healthy cm. I managed to pee a little more in a white paper cup, and it was red. No clots or spots, just like food coloring had been stirred in. BUT -- I had a lot of beets for lunch. So, it could be blood, or it could be beet dye. Beets haven't done this to me before but I just read online that iron deficencies can cause this when eating beets; I don't know if I'm iron def, but I'm definitely tired and in pregnancy, who knows, maybe I am. SOOO . . . would you call the doctor after hours, or wait till 9am tomorrow?? It could totally just be beets. But if it's blood, should I panic?

Thanks!

    I would call.  Could be the beets, but i would let the doc tell you that.  If it is the beets, you can have a good laugh with your doc at the next appt =)  Good luck!

    I would definitely call (even if I suspected I knew what the cause might be).  That's what they're there for.  GL!

    A call won't change things other than peace of mind, but that would freak me out. A call can't hurt, at worst your Dr. Will think you are "that" patient.... That is completely understandible considering you a pgal.... I would probably call, but that is just me.

    I'd suggest calling and asking what you should do. Reddened urine could mean UTI or bladder/kidney infection.

    GL!

    Beets always make me pee red... I would bet it is the beets. If it makes you feel better, definitely call. Have you had any painful peeing? Typically if it's blood in your urine, it's because of a bad infection (at least in my experience). 

     

    Side story - My poor little DD came running out of the potty in a panic the first time she peed after eating beets when she was potty trained. She yelled, "I'm dying (sp?)!"

    painless blood in urine without any urinary symptoms of pain and itching and burning is a sign of bladder infection ( cystitis in medical terms) 

    i had it 3 weeks back ..i also peed red. dont panic . u need to get urine culture done and your ob will place u on antibiotics .. after only one day of antibiotics it cleared up from me. u can call now . they can call in the prescription of antibiotics for u .

    my very first thought was "did she eat beets?" as i was reading your post. i would bet it's those little bastards... HOWEVER, it's always better to be safe than sorry. I'd call just for peace of mind.

    Beets could be the cause! I would wait out the evening and see if more fluids clear it up. Then you will know if it was the beets or not. If your not having any pain though I would assume its the beets. 

    I know how frantic stuff like this can make me .. so if it really worries you call your doc. He might just tell you to wait til the morning too!

    I am hoping its just the beets!

    Hope it turns out it was just the beets...especially since you weren't in pain.  I peed blood before with a bladder infection and it was so painful I thought I would keel over.  I did a juice fast once and drank a bunch of fresh carrot juice and peed orange all day...so it makes me hopeful it was just the beets!!
