You typically don't get preeclamsia till later on in your pregnancy

Sounds like pre-eclampsia. Where you have high blood pressure and protein in your urine! Definitely try to get an ultrasound in ASAP,  after they tell you if you have it or not they will monitor you either weekly or bi-weekly! Good luck sweetie,  hope all goes well.

I have had high levels of protein in my urine my entire pregnancy. Im 34weeks now. I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy but so far my bp is fine with this pregnancy. Not sure why i have protein in my urine either.

I'm pretty sure that's a symptom of preclampsia I'd look it up.
