Drink cranberry juice or take the cranberry pills for now& lots of water. I had protein and blood in my urine due to a kidney problem and UTI & what the dr. In the quick care clinic gave me didn't work I had to wait 3 days to see my dr. & the cranberry help.

Drink lots and lots of water and make sure you don't hold per in for over 4 hours cause that's when bacteria start to form. Some women have protein in there urine just because there body produces more. I had protein in my urine the whole time I was pregnant with my first and I never had high blood pressure.

The infection itself can cause protein in your urine the issue is if you are after 20 weeks and have high BP and protein its a sign of something called HELLP syndrome, which can cause seizures and death ... Early on lots of stuff can give you protein, even eating a steak can show protein in a UA

yeaa I have that too , im 11w but they found it when I was a little earlier . my doctor told me its good they caught it early on because it causes seizures , which really isnt good for you or the baby , they might have do a 24hr pee take to see if its there all throughout the day or an on and off thing . but you do need to go to the doctor,  also drink water more.  hope that helped (: good luck !
