If so, what types of treatment did you have done, especially those people who got them ealry in pregnancy?

I am 30 weeks pregnant. I told my obgyn over a month ago that I was having severe abdominal pain under my right rib. She told me it was likely my gallbladder and to adjust my diet and follow up in 30 days. Well my pain had actually gotten worse after I changed my diet. I ended up in the urgent care where as much of an abdominal ultrasound that could be performed was. After 8 hours and a ton of blood samples accidentally from my artery none the less they were inconclusive as to where my pain was coming from because they had limited vision from my daugheters positioning. They did how ever find some "good sized" kidney stones. Now, I know that is not the pain I am suffering from, although I am anticipation the passage of those suckers any day now. I have increased my fluid intake to over 2 gallons of cranberry and water a day. Try that for a week then talk to me about being uncomfortable… The doctor did not eliminate gallbladder disease, he said I needed to see a specialist and have a more complete ultrasound performed. Little did I know, a urologist wont come near me because of my pregnancy. I am in unbelievable amounts of pain. I was told the baby is more than fine and as long as I can tolerate the pain under my ribs I will be ok. Well guess what. I cant take it anymore!!! It hurts all the time! Im scared to stretch because it kills me, I cant eat because I have no room and it causes sharp burning pains. Im scared its going to rupture. Is there anyone who knows what I can do? I appreciate consolation but I need some serious advice!!!
I am 14 weeks pregnant. Have had pain in my left side since Friday, around my kidney area. I’ve already called my doctor yesterday and he didn’t do anything because I don’t have any symptoms of a kidney infection. I called back today, and waiting for them to call me back. To see if they want me to go for tests and possibly a sonogram of the kidney to check for stones. If by chance I do have a kidney stone, how is that treated during pregnancy?
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was pregnant with my daughter over 2 years ago. My thyroid then regulated itself halfway through my pregnancy. About 9 months afterI had my daughter(Feb.2006), I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. In March 2007 I became pregnant with my son and was again diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which I am still dealing with. At 6 months pregnant with this last pregnancy, I found out that I had kidney stones. There were three stones in each kidney that were about 10mm in size and a cyst on my left kidney. I thought that those had broken up and I was passing a lot of stones about the size of small peas. I recently went in for a CT scan to see if any stones were left. I just got a call from my urologist who told me that there were even more stones now than there were before. What could be causing this? I have changed my diet as suggested by my urologist. I do also have a history of kidney stones in my family.
