Toilets

kbl13 · August 2014

This is totally random (and prob TMI) but my pregnant pee is staining the toilets in my house. I thought it was due to my prenatal vitamins with DS, but once I gave birth (and continued to take vitamins) it completely stopped and I forgot about it til now.

Anyone else having to clean their toilets multiple times per week?

I have no experience with this, but have you tried dashing some vinegar in the bowl to help prevent stains?

If you have specifically a prenatal now and were taking a non-prenatal when the coloration stopped, check the levels of different things. Perhaps it's the amount of a certain vitamin that is causing it? I know B vitamins can deepen the yellow color of your pee. And A can be orange-y (carotenes can cause yellow, orange, or red-ish coloring in things).

Well, I did notice a ring in the master bath toilet. I think I will have to start between cleans.... we have a cleaning service, so I dont usually bother :-/

I've been taking the same prenatal vitamin for a few years now, so no changes there. I have been using extra strength bleach gel-type toilet bowl cleaners, but vinegar might be worth a try (it would def be cheaper)

Also, I did a quick google search and found an old babycenter thread w/ ladies complaining about this same problem... so I don't feel as crazy, even if I am the only one on this board noticing it.
