Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 ~ You mentioned something about Ketones.......... Is it bad to have Ketones in your urine while pregnant?? I just recently had a bladder infection, and when they did the Urinalysis, they mentioned that there were ketones. Should I be concerned?? ~ 17 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...it's not GOOD, but trace amounts generally aren't of concern. If you're spilling high amounts of ketones then yes...that can be not good for the baby and means you aren't eating enough and need to keep your protein up while upping your carbs... but it's pretty normal to spill trace amounts, especially when it's mealtime and you haven't eaten yet...
