Anyone else have or had a lot of protein in urine while pregnant? Been up and down hospital for past two weeks to be monitored and baby to be monitored but each time results come back they find higher amounts of protein they haven't found any other signs of Preeclampsia yet which is why I have to keep going back to be monitored but can there be another reason for high amounts of protein? I will ask them when I go back up this week but just curious 😢
I had 3+ on several occasions and they never did anything/ said what it was 🤷♀️
Did you have to go back and fourth for hospital appointments?
@mummy2two, nope 🤷♀️ I had a couple of extra appointments than I should have done because of my thyroid but they never acted on the protein, always baffled me. I just figured it meant it wasn’t worth worrying about, but maybe it is?!
@jo.wilcox Oh fair enough, I have had protein in my urine in my previous pregnancies but they never called me in weekly for appointments at the hospital so was confused that I got to keep going back this time round, I must have higher amounts of protein than usual but they keep going on about Preeclampsia and how it can come at anytime just strange they didn't look for this before, I think I need to ask them to explain it to me better because I just feel more confused when I leave the hospital and get a phone call I have to go back in 😂
Have you had to do a 24 hour urine catch? When you leave them a urine sample it isn’t as accurate as a 24 hour urine catch. The sample shows basically the last 2-3 hours. So if you’re dehydrated, have a uti, etc it will show protein. The 24 hour urine catch would really tell them what’s going on. They should have ordered one to see a baseline for you and have you do a repeat. I spill protein in my urine because I’m always dehydrated no matter how much I try to up my water intake.
No I haven't I have to do two different urine samples within my 3 hour BPA appointments for them to keep sending of, I can ask them about that this week as never heard of it but so far I've had 3 urine samples come back with high protein and this acid thing I will take photos of results in a minute and I've been called in for 3 BPA now be the third one this week
@mummy2two, I’m in the US so maybe it’s something we do here. But for 24 hours you collect your urine in a container at home. How’s baby doing? Are you bp readings okay? Have they done any NSTs?
This happened with me on and off throughout my last pregnancy. My consultant said it could be something as simple as a bit of discharge that causes it. Every time they would send my sample off for further testing it would come back fine.x
Ahh see it's my tests that come back from the further testing that are showing higher samples of protein lol which is why I've had to keep going back and fourth the hospital, I just hope that my next lot this week come back fine it really worries me 😢
@mummy2two, Mine kept coming back as +1 but they didnt seem concerned as it was only one foot that kept swelling. Not my hands,face and both feet. Have you had any swelling? And hows your bp? I’m sure if they are keeping a close eye on you all will be ok. I had a hell of a lot of fluid around my baby and my consultant admitted he had neglected me abit so booked me in to be induced for 5days later but i went into labour on my own before then x
@emmabump13 aww bless fair enough, everytime I got to my BPA everything is fine, no symptoms they ask, blood results come back fine and BP has always been fine, I just don't understand why it keeps coming back higher amounts if everything else seems in check lol
I had 2+ in mine on my last appointment got induced 2 days later... x
I've had 3+ in my previous appointments they said when I reach 37 weeks they can induce me but because I'm not showing any other signs I could go up to 39 weeks
How many weeks we're you when they induced you? I don't want to be induced 😂
@mummy2two, I was full term but at my last app they said 2+ urine and he wouldn’t move for them so said reduced movements and my face had also started going blotchy x
Could be a urine infection but surely they’d know ?xx
Yes I've been in and out of hospital last two weeks now it isn't that, they just keep me coming back for BPA to check I haven't got that or any other signs of Preeclampsia
@erincharlieconor That's two in the last 20 minutes now 😂😂 x
Unfortunately not lol would be easier if I had a UTI but been in and out of hospital last two weeks now and they said it can't be that
Do you know what your protein levels have been?
My previous have been 3+ not sure what the new results are yet till I go back this week for a BPA
@mummy2two, BPA biophysical ultrasound?
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts Blood Pressure Appointments
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

I had protein in my urine in my pregnancy with my son, so got a blood test with showed elevated uric acid. I also had high BP that pregnancy but never developed pre eclampsia. Without symptoms it’s really nothing to worry about as long as you’re being monitored properly.
