Protein in pregnancy
I'm newly pregnant, about 8 weeks, and received my results from my latest 24 hr urine test. I stopped my Losartan because of the pregnancy, but am shocked by how much my results spiked in such a short amount of time.
My latest results are 8.17g of protein a day, and I was down to 0.58g/day before pregnancy. I am terrified this is signaling to other issues like preeclampsia, though I don't have any swelling and my blood pressure is low.
Any other women experience a serious spike in protein? Am I totally screwed? I want a healthy baby and healthy pregnancy, but that number is so scary to see at only 8 weeks pregnant.
