Does protein usually get worse as time goes on? I know my base b/p is 110/60 so my mw wants to know if it ever gets to 140/80..I guess I'm just wondering if I'm looking at pre e or nothing.
I can't answer your question, but I just wanted to say that I've very jealous of your BP! I don't think I've ever had mine read that low.
Perhaps your MW wants to know if it gets above 140/80 because that it too high for when you're pregnant (and too high to maintain for long periods of time when you're not pregnant.)
I'm not sure I have an answer either, but I had protein at +1 last week (at 24 weeks) also and my mw wasn't too concerned. (my bp is also typically very low, and a bp of 120/80 for me, at least would be high)
From what I understood from my mw, it's not as much as one reading that is of concern but changes over time, which I guess she's having you monitor your bp more closely,
It's something to follow up on, but traces of protein can be common and of no concern. If you get a reading of 2, then I would start to request regular monitoring. You can also get a Bp cuff for home (I have one) if you want to track your Bp. For me, I had nothing until near the end last time, then it increased fairly quickly. It can be different for everybody. I say don't worry, but definitely ask about it at your next appt
Did you have just the one reading of trace proteins? As luck would have it, on Friday, I had a Doctor's appointment in the afternoon and an appointment with my MW in the evening. At the Dr's, there was trace protein, but later on that day, there wasn't.
