Protein in urine analysis , what does that mean ?
I’m at 8weeks, I have been given a bunch of blood work , urine test to be done . My urine report shows positive value of protein & the std in negative .
Anyone knows about this , if it’s normal during pregnancy ? My values were negative during the 1st month check .

I’d also like to mentioned I had high blood pressure with all my babies and preeclampsia with my son !
Protein is not always a risk of preeclampsia especially at such an early stage. I’ve had protein in my wee the last three weeks but no symptoms of preeclampsia and no concerns. It could have been a little bit or discharge or something contaminating your wee. I wouldn’t worry right now xx
Protein often shows up when you have an increase in discharge which is really common in pregnancy

It’s very rare to have preeclampsia before 20 weeks. I had the same thing happen and they retested and my proteins were fine. If you were recently sick you can see a spike of protein, even dehydration can cause it. However make sure to monitor yourself and any signs like headaches that are not going away after taking tyneol or Advil and ensure to monitor your blood pressure. Hope this helps!
