Has anyone had kidney stones while pregnant?!
Question:
Has anyone had kidney stones while pregnant?
I am having lower back pains and I'm starting to worry. I'm prone to kidney stones. I had 6 of them in May of 2005, and I actually went septic from them blocking my urter. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and I had to have 3 seprate surgeries and a stint put in my back. I am 9 weeks pregnant, and my ob/gyn made me stop taking prenatal vitamins due to the calcium in them. I am 6'1" and I have a condition that I over produce calcium anyway. Im really nervous about getting them during pregnancy. Has anyone had them and what did they do to help with the pain? I am deathly allergic to codene and most of the drugs related to it. Any body know anything on the subject?
Answers:
Okay. You need to calm down. I had a kidney stone when I was pregant, it DOES NOT (NOT NOT NOT) harm the baby AT ALL! It may be painful, but belive me GIVING BIRTH HURTS MORE! Avoid surgery, I confused my lower back pain and stomach pains with apendacitis. Try ADVIL! It works GREAT, it's your EVERY pain reliever. Good Luck with the baby. A tip: GET AS MUCH SLEEP BEFORE YOUR DUE DATE!!!!!!!!! You won't sleep for what seems like weeks! Good Luck! Visit a doctor, if you are worried!
Good Luck!
