too much protein in urine during pregnancy

Im 15 weeks pregnant i just received my urine test result i have one (+)plus in my urine. Does anyone had the same problem in pregnancy, what i should do?

I have had protein in my urine since I was in my early 20s. It's never been at a high enough level for the MDs to get overly concerned. I've had testing on my kidneys and everything, and they can't find anything wrong. As far as pregnancy goes, I've also had it in my urine during this pregnancy, but not at a high level. I have had to do 24-hour urine collections a couple of times so he could check kidney function but, other than that, no big deal.

Yesterday I went for screening/physical/drug test for a job and the said they found high levels of protein in my urine. Besides any of the common diagnoses, could this be a sign of pregnancy too??

I had a urine sample today at midwife appointment and they found protein in urine and now investigating.

I had high protein 2 weeks ago. Tested again this week and it was normal. Most women test high at some point in pregnancy, doesn't mean anything unless you get more than one in a row. I hadn't eaten much 2 weeks ago, that was probably the reason it was high for me. Dehydration can be another reason. Odds are you have nothing to worry about, just take it as it comes. Good luck, and congrats on the baby!

So in that case, we need to do monitoring of urine at different times to see if the amount of proteinuria changes over time.

I had protein in my urine near the end of my last pregnancy that was not preeclampsia-related.

I ended up going into labor @ 36 weeks because of this.

Having small amounts of protein in your urine is common in pregnancy. It can happen for a number of reasons. It probably just means that your kidneys are working harder now that you're pregnant. It could also mean that your body is fighting a minor infection. Your midwife may send a sample of your urine to the hospital to check if you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). If you have a UTI, your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic that is safe to take in pregnancy.
