It feels like what I think a gun shot wound would feel like if I had to walk around this world taking Tylenol for the gaping, bloody whole in my back.
Yeah, it hurts.
I’ve heard and read horror stories of pregnant woman with kidney stones – and women with kidney stones in general, and am hoping and praying that these pass quickly. The only knowledge I’ve ever had of kidney stones in the past is from an episode of The Real World Chicago. Remember crazy Tonya? She had kidney stones so much that season, that her roommates stopped believing her and began making fun of her, making up a song in a cab one day about them. “And kidney stones and kidney stones and kidney stones…”
Has anyone else had kidney stones while pregnant? Could you maybe tell me that it only lasted a few days, you weren’t hospitalized, and are well enough now to read this blog? Please? At least help me get this song out of my head I’ve been mumbling all day.
And kidney stones and kidney stones and kidney stones and kidney stones……….

Wow, that sucks. I take it you know for sure that is the problem. I can’t offer up much, I’ve never experienced that. Hope it gets better!
CJ says
Oh that’s so bad! Hope they pass off quickly! Get well soon 🙂
Kristen says
only thing I know about kidney stones is that people say it’s the closest a man will ever get to knowing what having a baby feels like. Well I guess that’s when they actually pass the stone. Drink lots of water girl! Good luck!

It’s like practice for labor, is all I know.
I’m sorry you’re going through those 🙁

I had kidney stones and I felt like I was giving birth all over again. So if you can make it past this, you can do just about anything! Drink lots and lots of water. Hang in there!
Tessa says
I don’t know you, but thought I would try to be encouraging … I had kidney stones with my first pregnancy at 34 weeks. It sucked for a few days, but they put me on bed rest and pushed fluids … then it was over. Good luck, feel better and congrats on the baby boy!

Hi there! I’m spending my evening reading about other people’s lives when I came across your post. Kidney stones are the worst. I work in the E.R. and kind of giggle to myself as I check in male patients almost crying from the pain of them. I can recall 20 years ago being pregnant with a kidney stone of my own. And we can’t take good pain meds while pregnant, right? Lots of water, water, and more water. Heating pads work and of course checking in with the doc. Good luck!
