30 weeks and kidney stones
I turned 30 weeks and went to the doctor. On Wednesday morning I experienced pain in my right kidney. I called the doctor and the nurse said to come in and get my urine tested to see what was going on. I left work early on Wednesday to go take the test but I was in so much pain that I went home and tried to relax. I had lost my phone earlier that day and so I couldn't call anyone to take me. I slowly looked for my phone. At about 1 I took some Tylenol and at about 2 it finally relieved some of the pain. I found my phone which was in a huge pile of clothes and called my mom. My mom told me to call my sister and so I did. My sister was able to take me and about 3, I was able to take the urine test. I wouldn't get the results till the next day. I went to work on Thursday and I was in so much pain all day. My doctor told me that my urine showed no bacteria and so I didn't have a urinary tract infection but that it showed protein and blood so it was most likely had a kidney stone. He also told me that everything is looking good. He wants me to come back every 2 weeks since I am so far along. Then he told us about the ultrasound. His kidneys have not gotten worse but not better either. He said that our baby's kidneys will have to be looked at by the pediatrician. My plan is to call and meet with Dr. Koil. I know a lot of people who use him and say he is outstanding. Then Ben and I were on our way to preregister and I slipped on some water. It was very scary to all of a sudden be on the ground. I didn't land on my belly which is good. I landed on all fours. I had to give a statement to a security guard. Well we were able to preregister and then were able to get a tour of the hospital. I really liked the hospital and I think that it will be a nice atmosphere. The day was very eventful! On Friday I woke up pain free and I was so happy and thankful! It was a great weekend... lots of time with my wonderful husband. We went shopping for food to restock our freezer and we were able to stock up a lot with all the sales. Well that is about it. He has been moving like crazy and I enjoy feeling him! Ben and I can't wait till he is out and we can finally get to know him personally.
