Pregnancy Info HOME

The kidney specialist, said that if I plan to get pregnant. He can put me on a Potassium Citrate Treatment, which is safe for the baby. This treatment will eliminate & help prevent stones from forming. He said pregnancy does equal higher risk on developing kidney stones. Because, studies have shown that calcium helps destroy stones. I don't know what to belive. I'm worried that if I get pregnant I might have to go through the stent surgery like you guys or kidney failure. I don't want to put my kidneys or my child at risk. DID YOU GUYS DEVELOPE STONES BEFORE PREGNACY. IF SO, HOW BAD WHERE YOUR KIDNEYS? The Dr. made it seem that a high risk in developing stones while pregnant depends on how damage your kidneys are. Any input? How much is the stent treatment. I have no insurance.
