Pregnancy Info HOME

De Anna, I've been reading all the posts since saturday.Before i forget i really want to agree with that girl that says to take your pain medication because thats less worse than suffering and putting your baby in distress. I was the same way.I did not wanted to even take a tylenol for a really bad migraine(this was like the first 19 weeks of my pregnancy) and after the gallstone atacks I had my family physician(he is the one i trust the most and he knows how stubborn i can be, i could never become a drug addict,i HATE taking pills)the dr @the ER, my OB/GYN AND my surgeon(the one that is going to remove my gallbladder after i deliver my baby) all 4 of them told me it was better to take the painpills.(of course they gave me some that are the safest to take during pregnancy).Ok to answer your question kidneystones are basically made out of calcium and gallstones are made out of cholesterol.After i had my kidneystones i decided to cut back on coffee,soda's etc and eat more yoghurt(i dont like milk) and drink more cranberry juice and water.Now i really dont like cranberryjuice it has a bitter taste to it but the white cranberry juice from oceanspray is not bad at all and they have them mixed with another fruit like peach or grapes.Cranberry juice seems to really flush out your system WHILE your having the stones and after to help prevent.And yoghurt seems to contain enzymes that help braek down the calcium build up.Im 29 now, first pregnancy and i'm 31 weeks pregnant. How far along are you??.Oh, and if you think that your dr is a moron request a different one!!!!!!
