I am 29 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with a stone a week and a half ago based on right-side flank pain. One urinalysis showed blood, two others did not, and the ultrasound did not actually show a stone at all. My urologist believes that the stone could be in my ureter tube. He is hoping that because it is microscopic that it may pass on it's own. On Saturday, I have another ultrasound to see if my kidney is enlarged, and decide on the next course of treatment. For now as long as the pain stays stightly managable, I'll continue to deal with it with fluids and regular tylenol as necessary. He advised me that a stent would be more painful than the flank pain itself.

Good luck everyone!
