Hello and welcome,

Albumin in urine during pregnancy may be due to kidney problems or a condition called preeclampsia where there is a rise in blood pressure during pregnancy.
Mostly the baby is not directly affected by presence of albumin in urine. However some conditions causing albuminuria like preeclampsia may affect the baby. If the baby will be affected or not depends upon the cause for the albumin and also on treatment. If you get treated properly then the baby is not affected.

So get your blood pressure checked as well as a kidney ultrasound [ renal scan] and kidney function tests done.

Once the cause is found, treatment can be directed towards the cause and the baby will be fine. So get evaluated.

All my best wishes are with you.

Take care.

Hope this satisfies your query.
