12. Her Pee Smells Different
A woman’s pee may smell quite different when pregnant. This strange occurrence can actually be due to a couple of reasons.
Some women report that they can smell hCG, human Chorionic Gonadotropin. This is known as the pregnancy hormone. It is what the at-home pregnancy tests detect in a woman’s urine. Smelling this new hormone may be the reason that a woman’s pee smells weird. The idea of smelling a hormone may seem extreme, but women also develop a heightened sense of smell when they are pregnant.
Women also have to stay hydrated while pregnant. The general thinking is that a human should drink 8 glasses of water a day, but pregnant women must drink much more. If they are eating for two, they are also drinking water for two. If a woman is dehydrated, her pee may become more concentrated, thus making her urine smell of ammonia.
For whatever reason, her pee may smell funky while she’s pregnant.
