Is it normal to measure less than normal in 36th week of pregnancy?
Patient: Hi I m kira. I m 23, 5f 2in I weight 68kg. I m 36 weeks preganat and have blood and protein in my wee. I ve had growth problems I don t measure what I should be so just worried about blood in wee. I had a blood test and urine test r weeks ago and came back normal. Hope u can answer my wuestions. Doctor: Hi,Blood in urine is not normal at any stage in pregnancy and should be evaluated further. Moreover you have protein as well and the baby is smaller than expected. All these point towards pre-eclampsia.You should get your blood pressure checked and get a detailed blood tests for liver function and renal function and ultrasound for size of baby and amniotic fluid level. You should also get Doppler ultrasound to see the well being of the baby. A Fetal heart trace will also be required.Also a scan of your kidney is required to rule out anything abnormal.Hope this helps.Regards.
