I went to the doctor for my 7month check up and protein was found in my urine.

Hi timesha,
 
Protein is one of the things that is looked for every time you go in for a prenatal visit. It can depend on how much protein was found.  Sometimes you may have some simply due to an infection going on.  It is, however, one possible indicator of a woman developing pre-eclampsia.  This can become a very serious problem that would require labor being induced.  If the amount is low, your doctor may just do some more checking and keep an eye out for any changes.
