Need Antibiotics: When you are pregnant, you can have the beginning of a bladder infection without symptoms. These need to be treated with antibiotics because they can progress to a serious kidney infection by the time you start having symptoms. A kidney infection can increase the protein in your urine. Urine protein can also signal you have Pre-eclampsia. Your midwife will be watching for this. Best wishes!

See doctor: Proteinuria is one of the indications of pre-ecplampsia. It would be prudent to see your obstetrician for an evaluation. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
