When u go for ur prenatal appt

[BabyNlove]

Why do we have to leave a urine sample everytime we go in for prenatal checkup? What r they checking for?

I meant protein*

They check for protein levels in your urine, if you have high blood pressure as well as urine it's a symptom of pre-eclampsia.

[Darci3]

They are checking for protein in your urine. If you have pre eclampsia the protein in your urine would alert them to that.
