I need your opinion

I went to my doctors yesterday. All looked well.
BUT
during the urine test they do every visit (checking for red blood cells, white blood cells, and protien) I came up with trace amounts of all.
A little background info to help you determine whether this is a concern or not
* I'm 33 weeks pregnant
*my bp is 98/60, highest ever was 110/70(after 39 weeks)
*I'm on low molecular weight heparin, since 10 weeks pregnant.
Based on all that, do you see an cause of concern for with the trace results?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Nope, that wouldn't worry me, although I have to say I do not routinely test for white or red blood cells in a pregnant women. Trace protein is normal.

My office does still test urine for protein and glucose in our pregnant women, although we are thinking about getting rid of the routine testing, since the research shows that it is pretty much meaningless unless you have someone with elevated blood pressures, which you don't at this point.

Thank you! My doctor said basically the same thing. I just wanted to be certain that he wasn't just blowing smoke up my you-know-what
