Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A slightly decreased uric acid levels during pregnancy can happen due to the hemodilution during pregnancy. The frequency of urination is common during early pregnancy due to the pressure symptoms caused by the gravid uterus.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
