Avatar n tn My cousin had kidney stones while pregnant. Doc said lots of water. It's very painful to pass a stone as I understand it. Good luck and feel better!
Avatar n tn I can sympathize! I got kidney stones while pregnant too! It was terrible. I though I was having a tubal pregnancy or something. I never dreamed being a 25 year old female, I was having a kidney stone! I finally passed it or get it settled after several days of hurting and had no other problems while pregnant. I got another one though after my baby was around 6 months old and it was terrible again!
Avatar f tn It's been three weeks since my diagnosis of having multiple kidney stones on the right side. The Radiologist who gave me my stat results said I would pass them and didnt think straining my urine was something I needed to do. I finally got in to see my urologist he was upset I wasn't straining and wanted me to have surgery since I will be undergoing IVF treatments in March. I agreed because I don't want to deal with flare up while pregnant.
4268628 tn?1375041176 I have mutiple kidney stones and gullstones. I would say go in because if u do have one lodge somewere it could cause an effection and poetentially hurt u and the baby if it doesn't get fixed. I had an episode twice were I thought it was my kidney stones and it was my gullstones same type of pain which I never new until now. Its better to be safe then sorry why be more uncomfortable then u already are. Good luck and keep updating.
Avatar m tn Hello, Since the kindey stone is 7 mm, so the symptoms seem unrelated to the kidney stones. Since you are having pedal or leg edema, hence your cardiac, liver and kidney functions need to be assessed for which I suggest you to consult a physician immediately. Abdominal causes like irritable bowel syndrome can also cause such symptoms. Common symptoms include abdominal cramping or pain, bloating and gassiness, and altered bowel habits(alternate constipation and loose stools).
Avatar f tn Iv had afew kidney stones in the past and it is n absoulte living hell. When i first found out i was pregnant i would joke like " watch im gonna get one while im pregnant" well its no laughing matter now that im 17 weeks and pretty damn shure i have one. Less sever then the previous ones but i do fear it becoming more sever.my question is, does anyone know what they do for them during pregnancy? Befor they just threw a script of percs at me and idpass it on my own.
Avatar f tn I had a bout with stones 2 years ago, but not while pregnant...it was the worst pain I've ever experienced!!!! I've had 3 c-sections and that wasn't even close to how painful those silly little stones were...feeling for you hun...I honestly never even knew kidney stones were something u had a higher chance of getting while pregnant until this pregnancy...I've been a little nervous worrying abt getting them this time around...
Avatar f tn I am having a lithroscopy to break up kidney stones a stent may have to be put in place in order that the stones can pass. I have read and heard how uncomfortable this can be and are there other options to having a stent put in place.
9358102 tn?1418673367 I get kidney stones each time I get pregnant. Mine are caused by the xtra calcium that I consume while taking prenatals. I normally stop getting them about 6 months after giving birth. It's annoying and super painful but I want to give my babies the nutrients they need so I continue to take them.
Avatar f tn Thinking i may have to go back. Has anyone ever had kidney stonea while pregnant ? Wondering if they will do my csection earlier than planned because of them I feel that I am most likely going to have to stop working now too because im in ao much pain fron it.
Avatar f tn They let u have surgery for ur kidney stones?!
Avatar f tn ) and yes they said drink plenty of water which is odd cause I have no history of kidney stones but since I found out I was pregnant I drink a lot of water constant thru out the day and I have favored lemon aid I don't ever drink soda or any caffeine so I think mine might be from calcium as well. They are going to analyze the stone so I'm hoping to know more later. One thing I will say is I give major propes to Anyone who has had to pass a stone- by far the worst pain I have ever felt!
229857 tn?1319029907 Do you think it could be kidney stones? Those make you feel like you're going to die. Honestly, I don't know what was worse, kidney stones or giving birth, since my epidural wore off during THAT. I remember my side hurting REALLY bad with kidney stones. Thought it was my appendix, and actually called 911 at 4 in the morning. I wasn't pregnant when I had them, but I just remember the intense pain in my side and towards my back.
Avatar f tn This past friday at 1:20am I was rushed to the ER from sudden back pain that was unbearable I was so scared for my baby.. Came to the conclusion it's kidney stones and I became more terrified because there's not many pain killers they could give me other than tylenol and morphine, so about the last one I asked if it was ok for my baby, first they said not sure!!
Avatar f tn With my last pregnancy i had such bad kidney stones that they were blocking my ureter (the tube going from your kidney to your bladder) which caused all the urine on my left side to be stuck in my kidney i got really bad hydronephrosis (excessive swelling of the kidney) and had to have a stent placed 4 times while pregnant to let the urine flow correctly again!
9358102 tn?1418673367 Went to the er and they took me straight to labor and delivery. It ended up being what they believed to be kidney stones. They did a catheter for fresh urine from my bladder and pumped me full of liquids. I was down for the count for about 4 days but all is better now. Definitely go in if you havent.
Avatar n tn I too started to get kidney stones 12 years ago when I was pregnant. I had the first one removed while pregnant and have had SEVERAL kidney stones since. I have gone in for surgery two times and they found nothing. I too have struggled with heartburn. I am at a loss now after just going into the hospital for 3 days with flank pain and infection. I really don't have any advice but feel your pain. I am now concerned about long term effects of many kidney stones and have a restricted uriter.
Avatar n tn My friend suffered with stones in kidney.. they are out now. but from two days he's complaining that he lost lot of blood while urinating... he doesnt have any pain... we have consulted the doctor too yesterday...no proper outcome..only little medication suggested...can somebody let me know the reasons for this to happen..
Avatar f tn I am new to kidney stones. I passed my first kidney stone about 2 months ago and I know I have two more. A 2mm on one side and a 4 on the other side. The first one I had happened at night, so I woke up in pain. I am just wondering is there symptoms you can feel when you are awake. Just 4 days ago, I had 4 very sharp pains in the right side my back over a 2 hour period. Today I am hit with a wave of nausea.
Avatar f tn If there were kidney stones, then together with other symptoms, you'd experience burning during urination. Kidney stone can cause really strong and sharp colic pain on one side of abdomen (going elswhere from the kidney area in the back or by (usually) one side of abdomen down to the groin. This pain usually causes constipation. Gas, bloating, diarrhea...this goes more with diverticulitis. Temperature means infection, you should get antibiotics (probably according to stool culture).
