Is a urine ketone reading of 3+ normal during prenatal check-ups?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Is it normal to have 3+ ketones in a prenatal check-up urine test?

Doctor's answer:

Prenatal examinations are primarily targeted at pregnant women during their gestation period, providing medical advice and perinatal care. The main purpose is to detect complications during pregnancy through scientific examinations at an early stage, thereby reducing the adverse effects of these diseases on the fetus and the mother. Through scientifically and rationally planned perinatal prenatal examinations, the risk factors for both the mother and the baby can be minimized, making it a key method to reduce maternal mortality and perinatal infant mortality. Prenatal examinations include a comprehensive physical examination of the pregnant woman, physical examinations, biochemical tests, and fetal development monitoring, through ultrasound, blood, and serological prenatal screening.
