Doctors testing urine

So I'll be 29 weeks on Monday, and I am seen at the Naval hospital since my husband is active duty.  Well I haven't had my urine tested since my pregnancy was confirmed. I know you wouldn't have symptoms for a uti or yeast infection like usual cause of pregnancy. Should I be concerned ..or?

A lot of places are different but im not sure about naval doctors. But i know my doctor tests every visit and they test for sigar levels, protiens in the urine and drugs every visit.

It's like that for everyone they haven't even made sure my breast milk is coming in? I'm being seen up here at Pendleton. They have so many women they see they don't have time to test urine I'm guessing. If you ever have signs of a uti I'd def bring it up

I'd ask them why they felt it unnecessary to be testing my urine every appt. They test mine every time I am seen. That'll be the only way you'll feel better about it.

When they do the dip stick in the urine a uti, blood, protein,  among others will show up on there. Are you thinking you've got something for some reason?

It just depends on your dr. Mine tests every single visit but some only test if you're showing signs of a uti or preclampsia
