Question....

Had a doctor appointment yesterday.  They have scheduled my anatomy scan for the 21st, sucks to wait longer but I am excited.  They said again that I have really high amounts of protein and ketones in my urine.  I had the same thing last month.  They sent that urine sample off and it came back normal.  They are sending this one off too.  My doctor doesn't seem to be too worried about it.  Should I be?

Well it could be anything from signs of pre-eclampsia, a bladder/kidney infection, gestational diabetes or even dehydration. Did they give you a number? or just tell you it was high?

If your doc isn't too worried, try to relax (I know- not the easiest thing to do when pregnant!!)
Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and if you can, check your blood pressure in between doctor visits.

No they didn't give me a number, just said it was high. Blood pressure has been fine and there are no signs of GD. They are sending it off to check for bladder/kidney stuff but I think its just that I am not drinking enough. Thank you for your input.
