If you get a test result with protein in your urine, it could mean a few things. It can even be expected, says Andrea Sleeth, APRN and Medical Advisor at Wisp. “It’s normal to have a small amount of protein in your urine,” she says, especially while pregnant. “Protein excretion normally increases to 150 to 250 mg daily during pregnancy, compared to less than 150 mg daily in nonpregnant individuals.”
