urine check?

[kimberlyyy95]

is it normal for my nurse to check my urine every single time I go in for an appointment? Why do they check it?

[MacShell326]

They do mine ever every time

Mine didn't. My urine was tested only two or maybe three times throughout my entire 40w pregnancy with my son. I was low-risk, my blood pressure stayed low and I never showed any s/s of infection, and evidence-based practice didn't support all that excessive testing in the absence of symptoms (I had I believe two blood tests including GD). Different practices have different policies but it isn't absolutely necessary to check urine every time.

Yes every single time I rather they take that than more blood though ugh could up imagine

[neshalyn]

Yup most likely every single time yu go you'll have to.  And cause I pee right when I wake up and my app is always mornings I drink water or milk on the way.  They do it for infections (uti) your protein and sugar levels.  Nothing serious.  Just making sure everything is normal

[tamararae19]

Mine did.

[dandan93]

Yeah its normal if theres signs of protein it can be a sign of pre-eclampsia x

[momkat2014]

yea i think its to check something about protein i cant remember lol

[drakenoboe]

Yep. They also check from protein in your urine - sign of pre-eclampsia

It's just to see if you have any infection uti etc.
