Pregnancy Info HOME

I am at 37 weeks and i have had a stent in since i was 6 months. It has been hell, I havent had to have it replaced, but I have had a UTI for over a month now and have been on antibiotics with no relief. I have been to the ER twice allready with painful contractions that were 2 minutes apart and lasting 1 and 1/2 minutes but I am not dialating. This is very frustrating, I dont know when to go in and when to stick it out? I have continued to have contractions since my first ER visit, 2 weeks ago, they are anywhere from 10 minutes apart to 4 and 2 minutes apart, all day long. They put me on hydrocodone and say that it will not effect the baby, but I am still worried to take it. I have had 6 hours of sleep in the past 3 days. To add to my pain, the doctors in my town, are the only game in town, and the treatment I have been given has been unbelievably bad. I had the sten put in because my kidneys were not emptying because the baby is big and laying on my urethra. I had horrible pain from this for months and they continued telling me well you are pregnant and with pregnancy comes pain, you just have to learn to deal with it, 4 months later im in the hospital having the stent put in. My urologist said my kidneys could have ruptured, and she didnt know how I had made it through the pain that long. If anyone has any hopeful advice please let me know.
