High protein in urine

[needzadvice]

Hi there so I really need some info and I just can't seem to find anything similar online, hoping you ladies can help me!!! :) . Pregnant with my 5th baby and have had pretty crappy morning sickness I'm currently 16 weeks and since my first apt At maybe 7 weeks I've been showing a lot of protein in my urine, the first time it was 2+ and the the pat two times it was 3+ the last one was just today at my drs. My Dr is concerned because my actual urine analysis showed no signs of infections or illness at all besides this ton of protein always in my urine. She says its way to early for pre e and isn't really sure what's wrong so she is having my kidney function checked, she's is always checking all my sugars because I keep continually whiting out to the point of almost fainting everytime I stand up! I've never experienced anything like this in any of my other children or even my m/c has anyone experianced very high urine protein levels and whiteouts and actually get a diagnosis? I am still pretty sick puking wise but nothing as bad as when I couldn't even keep down water at first .. Ok well now I'm rambling lol so any info or insight would be greatly appreciated im sort of freaking out as I don't even know what to expect. Does this mean I'm way more likely to get pre e once I hit my third trimester? Ugh I hate the unknown :/ Tia everyone!!!!

you wont have to live at the hospital, you can just go there, get fluids and see if that helps.  shouldnt be more than an hour or two.  but i know dehydration can lead to protein your urine, which is not safe for the baby.

It basically at this point what I can fight to keep down, I find meals are harder to hold in then snack type food, my Dr told me about the Gatorade so I've been trying it but it gets pricey. I've been getting dizzy and whiting out since I went to my first apt at like 6 weeks so I can't really live at the hospital for iv especially with all my kiddos 2 that are in school :( I think it's definayely a severe issue with my kidneys my left side back is sooo painful and I just used to attribute it to pregnancy but now I know it's my kidneys it feels swollen like I can barely sit on the couch because it's pushing out :/

are you eating a normal diet? or is it a diet high in protein? try to drink some Gatorade, you electrolytes might be off which could be the problem. If you are getting dizzy when you stand up, I would go to the ER and get some IV fluids with as much as you are puking.

I've been really sick so though I drink a ton of water I also puke minimum 3 times a day so quite a toll on my body. My Dr brought up renel failure but I'm not sure what that is,  my bp so far has still been normal I just find it so weird to have protein from literally like the beginning of pregnancy :/ never experienced anything even similar she kept asking me about my kidneys but I didn't know much besides I do have a lot of back pain. She's sending me to check a ton of different things and hopefully it shows something more .

Sorry to hear. Mine showed up at 3+ around the beginning of my 3rd trimester. Are you drinking enough water? My doc had me do a 24-hour urine collection and checked my renal panel. Both were normal and so is my blood pressure so we didn't do anything. Not sure what caused it in the beginning. Hope u and baby will be fine.
