Pregnancy Info HOME

To all of us ladies with mostly calcuim stones. Drink lots of lemon juice and lemonade concentrate. Also oranges/juice helps. The citrus helps neutralize the extra calcium spilled over in the kidneys. My Nephrologist (kidney specialist) recommended 2-3 lemons/oranges a day. I know that seems impossible, but I squeeze it into water or just drink lemonade. They also make a potassium citrate pill which contains the citrus, but it hasn't been tested during pregnancy and my OB's recommended I wait until after my baby is born. I am 15 wks. My nephrologist wanted me to take the potassuim citrate to prevent kidney stones, because he said it's hard to drink 2-3 lemons/oranges a day- but that is the natural way. Good Luck to all of us!
