Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that pregnancy is the hypervolumic state. There is a burden on your kidney to filter additional water. During this pressure kidney may some times excrete a traces of protein. So its a normal state that you have found a traces of protein in your urine. Routine screening of urine for protein is necessary. If you found protein in urine is increasing it is the sign of complication. Immediately report your consulting doctor. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
