Kidney stone update

Jessica

26 weeks tomorrow, had my appointment with a urologist yesterday morning. He's not 100% sure I have a stone, if it's an infection, or if it's the baby pressing on something. He put me off work the rest of the week, I was on vacation last week when it started Thursday. He's trying to do the minimum he can to be careful with baby. Trying not to do a stent of possible. He gave me antibiotics, so now I have that, pain meds, and flomax. It's pretty much all they can do right now.

I'm in so much pain right now. He said if you have a history of kidney stones you're likely to get them during pregnancy. Fml. I haven't pooped since Thursday when we went to the hospital. I've taken Metamucil 3 times and miralax last night. It causes horrible cramps and I still can't poop. I feel like I'm dying. I have to go in today for a glucose test and idk how I'm going to manage getting there. Idk how long I'll be off work but literally the only thing I can do for money is my small Etsy shop 😔😣
