This disease is accompanied by severe pain in the abdomen, so it is very difficult to diagnose during pregnancy.If you do not cure the disease, there is relatively high risk for premature birth and low birth weight babies.

Usually they will just give you a pregnancy safe antibiotic to prevent or treat any UTI that might result and otherwise they let the stone break up and pass on it’s own.

Depends on where the stone is located -

A urethral stent may be put in place to aid in passing the kidney stone. The stent is a tube inserted from the bladder to the kidney – The stent allows the urine to get past the stone, relieving the blockage and relieving the pain.

Another option is to use a nephroscopic tube, which is inserted into the back through a small incision. Attached to the tube is a small, external bag for drainage. It can be awkward to maneuver with the bag on the back, but it is also less invasive, especially if the kidney stones must be monitored for a long period of time.

I have had kidney stones during pregnancy. They just had me drink lots of water and the kidney stones passed on their own. It was pretty painful. You may just have a Urinary Tracy Infection…in which case they will give some antibiotics. Get well soon!!

Oh, by the way…My birthday is September 1st…I thought that was cool
