I had that a few times in my later stages. It was just that i wasnt eatting and drinking enough. It didnt cause me any problems.

if it was something to be worried about midwife would hav told you. it was probably only a small amount..also if u had something to eat 3 hrs before u went to appointment, that should stop ketones showin up shudn't it?...i always thought ketones is a sign your body is using up its fat supply...which isn't advisable whilst ur pregnant...but like i said if it was sumat to be worried abt midwife would hav told u xx
