Does he start checking for protein later? Or maybe if your
BP starts going up?

I've not had my urine checked either, I suppose it's possible they would
start to check later, but I won't know as I'll be back in the UK, when they
check urine absolutely every time you visit anyone!

If you're past about 18 weeks, I'd ask about it. It is possible to have
protein before BP starts to rise, as well as the other way around. He may
feel that since this is your 3rd pregnancy with no problems, it isn't a
concern, since PE is rarer in subsequent pregnancies, but it does still
happen.

FWIW I never had such tests in the Netherlands. They won't test unless you
start to show other symptoms, or have a medical history that puts you at
risk. I don't know if there are more pre-eclampsia cases there, but I do
think they catch most of them well in time.

Of course you can always ask, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
