Proteinuria: In normal pregnancy, urinary protein excretion may increase substantially, so, total protein excretion is considered abnormal in pregnant women when it exceeds 300 mg/day. Proteinuria may be a sign of preeclampsia, normally found in women in their first pregnancy. Less commonly, hypertension and diabetes can also cause proteinuria then. You need to follow up with your doctor to discuss this.
