I am 35 weeks pregnant and have been on antibiotics for a kidney infection for over a week now. My doctor said that the pain should subside in a few days, but it hasn't and at times it seems even worse. I think it may be a kidney stone, but I don't have blood in my urine or painful urination, just severe pain in my lower back on the right side that wraps around to my abdomen. I don't have an ultrasound until tomorrow, so I won't know for sure till then. My question is, if this is a kidney stone, how long will it take to pass. I have to get back to work, and in my current situation, that would be impossible. Help?!

Dear NMC, I had kidney stones at 35 wks pregnant...they are not fun - so sorry that you will have to go through that. Kidney stones feel like full labour unfortunately. If the pain is almose unbearable, that should mean that it is close to passing, and it shouldn't take too long. It took me maybe 24 hours. Good luck and take care...Keep us updated...Lisa
