At my last checkup the report showed some protein in urine and now im a little worried. Gynac said keep an eye but didnt explain much. What does it actually mean during pregnancy? im 30 weeks.
I know seeing 'protein positive' on your report can make you panic and search the internet all night. I went through the same anxiety when my reports came back. It's often just a minor UTI, but definitely talk to your doctor to put your mind at ease.
I had mild protein in my urine during my last trimester, and my doctor just told me to drink lots of water and monitor my BP. It turned out to be completely fine, and I went on to have a healthy baby who is now breastfeeding happily. Just get it checked by your doctor to be safe.
Having protein in urine can sometimes mean your kidneys are under pressure, so you have to be very careful. During my pregnancy, I had to monitor my diet and sugar levels constantly. Please ensure you are drinking enough water and following your doctor's specific advice on food.
This can sometimes be a sign of high blood pressure or preeclampsia, which needs very careful monitoring. Because of my past loss, I always advise everyone to never ignore such test results. Please contact your doctor immediately to get it checked out properly.
Look, protein in urine is not something you should ignore or try to cure with home remedies. It can be a sign of high BP or an infection. Go to your gynac, get a proper urine culture done, and follow their instructions.
