I know one time when I went in they told
me I had protein in my urine and to drink
more water and cranberry juice. They
didnt say anything about blood and sugar,
though, so it could be different...

i know that can be a sign of preeclampsia,
do whatever the dr tells you to get it
under control, it is dangerous to mother
and unborn child...Please be careful

Yep.. Its called "pre-eclampsia" which
means that you that you might get really
bad headaches, high blood pressure and
lots of other unplesant stuff. Your doc
should be givin you something for that. I
work at a hospital (in the maternity
section) so I see lots and lots of people
with that. Its not too serious if you get
it treated.. Many people have to be
induced and have the baby a little early
if it gets really bad... But ur not far
along enough.. So hang in there

yeah - sorry, I havent been on here
lately.
I'm actually on bedrest right now because
of that and high blood pressure.
Protein in your urine is one of the signs
of preeclampsia. That and headaches,
high blood pressure, spots in your vision,
and pain on your right side right below
your ribs.
Regardless, preeclampsia can be extremely
dangerous to you and the only cure is
delivery. If it gets to a certain point
a doctor will induce labor because it isnt
safe for you anymore.
You cant be "treated" for it either, only
thing that cures it is delivery.
Just watch what you eat and avoid going
out alot. The more you lay around the
better. And dont lay on your back,
becuase it can cut off you rmain artery.
Lay on your left side for best
circulation.
Hopefully you wont end up in bed like me,
cuz it sux ass.
