I freaked out at the hospy when they said I had trace amts of protein...but it turns out protein can *sometimes* be in there for other reasons - vaginal secretions get mixed in, or if you have a low level kidney/ureter infection. However, they still have to check it as it's one of the major indicators of pre-eclampsia and it's so much better to be safe than sorry.

Hope everything's ok with you, let us know how you get on.
