Pregnancy Info HOME

I am currently 28 wks. This is my third pregnancy and the second that I suffer with stones. During my last pregnancy, at 26 weeks I spent two weeks in the hospital on morphine and percocet. They eventually had no choice but to go in and do an ureteroscopy. BTW, they waited until they were prepping me for surgery to let me know that it would be a local spinal anesthesia and that a 30 min surgery becomes 1 hour because of the pregnancy. They removed a 7 mm stone and inserted a stent. I had them remove the stent after 3 weeks because I could not tolerate the pain.

I am currently 28 weeks and have passed more than 20 stones since February. Was hospitalized last week and I knew the stones I passed in the hospital were too small to explain the pain. Passed a pea sized stone which caused a lot of bleeding on Saturday and another stone last night.

There seems to be no end in sight. I just need to get through the rest of this pregnancy.

I have suffered from stones since I was 20 but only had an attack once every 2-3 years. I have passed more stones in these four months than in the last 13 years COMBINED!

You ladies are the first people I come across with the same situation. It's good to know I am not alone. Doctor's do make you feel like it's your imagination sometimes.

I tip my water glass to you all....
