I didn't state whether my doctor is concerned or not. that's not my point. I'm simply asking what other doctors had said to other mothers.

I had protein in my urine near the end of my last pregnancy that was not preeclampsia-related. I had GD and was controlling my blood sugar with diet, but the protein in my urine was a sign that I was not eating enough and so my body was consuming itself, in a way. I ended up going into labor @ 36 weeks because of this.

What do you want to know? Other than it a sign of preclampsia, don't mean it is for sure. But your dr doesn't seem to be all that concerned. You're already 35 wks anyway if you did have it, your baby is most likely healthy enough for delivery. It's a risk to you not so much baby.

Could be a sign of pre eclampsia.
