This is a question for your own medical practitioner as we have no idea of her medical history.

I assume that with this scan you talked to the nurse or doctor there or had a follow up with your doctor? All the Ultrasounds I went to with my wife had a Nurse or Doctor come in and tell us that our little one was fine and everything was good. As well as a follow up with her OB who basically said the same thing.

If that hasn't happened talk to your doctor. It could look fine on paper but there might be something that we, being the untrained mass (Save for you J_9), might miss.

Hello hariganesh,

The scan results fall within the normal range for 31.2 weeks and baby is currently head down.

Check with your doctor regarding the protein and pus in the urine sample. While small amounts, they may check for an infection. Doctors will sometimes vary in what range they are comfortable with.

As was said, certainly have your doctor go over all of the results so that you and your wife can be well informed. The doctor will let you know if they feel any medication or supplementation should be considered, or they may decide to just recheck the values again later.

I have to agree with Doula here.

I would like like to add that protein in the urine can indicate pre-eclampsia. How is your wife's blood pressure?
