Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi everyone, I have a quick update...After almost 3 weeks of dealing with unbearable pain, I finally passed my kidney stone (33 weeks pg). I went to the hospital because I was having pain again, it was burning when I urinated, and I thought I was having pre-term labor. They did a catheter to collect a urine sample. They removed the catheter and yes I was having major contractions. An hour later, I went to the bathroom at the hospital and the stone popped out. It was at least the size of a pea! I truly think getting the catheter helped dislodge the stone that was just sitting in my bladder waiting to come out. Now that the stone is gone, I am pretty much pain free. I hope the best for everyone and that you too can pass your stones. The results came back and it was a calcium phosphate stone with a mass of 78 mg. To lars3210, I believe you are doing all that you can to manage the pain. I have a love/hate relationship with the bathtub and heating pads. My urologist also suggested drinking tons of lemonade. Not sure if it helped but I passed my stone about 5 days after drinking more lemonade. I get weekly ultrasounds for low fluid issues, and all of the HOT baths, HOT heating pads, and large does of NARCOTICS do not appear to have affected my baby. They keep telling me she looks great and she is passing all of her diagnostic tests. Hang in there...I am thinking about all of you!
