Yes - if you have preeclampsia you will have protein in your urine. If this is somethign you are concerned about bring it up with your doctor.

It's not diagnosed from urine, but a protein in your urine can be a sign of preeclampsia. All signs together do sound like preeclampsia. But remember, YOUR OB doc knows what to look for and when to become concerned!! Your blood pressure may be slightly elevated, but know were near the range for your doc to be overly concerned. A slight elevation plus the protein would tell him to keep a close eye on it when you go in for checks. If a slight elevation is 120/75 from your normal 110/70, then you perfectly fine!! Concern comes when your blood pressure hits the 140's/90's and above! Edema, see in 8 out of 10 pregnant women, could also simply be simply edema (which could explain some of the weight gain ; ) ). Trust your doc! Knowing when to become concerned and act is why they get the big bucks : o )

Yes the doctor would know from the protine that is found the in the urine. I had one plus protine in my urine and my blood pressure was slightly high than it had been. I had server swelling in my feet. The doctor stated that I was starting to get toxica, and wanted me induced. I also had gestational diabeties so that added to the problems.

Yes, well what they are looking for in your urine is Protein, if you have protein in your urnie then they will have you do a 24 urine test, to make sure everything else is alright. I had preeclampsia with my last two pregnancies.
