I'm so sorry you had to go through that but at least it's over--and we'll pray you don't experience it again. I have had doctors say drink lemonade and lots of it to prevent kidney stones!

I admire you and your hubby and wish you nothing but the best. On the kidney stone thing. Take it from someone who's been there....I am SOOOOO sorry that you can't do the meds. I have had 8 and 3 surgery's. Fortunatly I wasn't pregnant at the time. My uroligist is great. He told me 4 tbsp of lemon juice a day will keep them from forming (suppose to anyway). This shouldn't hurt the babies. Just add it to water. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

It took me a day to realize it wasn't vaginal. Initially I had no pain at all and then boom- talk about pain! It was a large kidney stone...so I know what you went through. No fun at all! My March 30th post could be a duplicate of yours. Sorry you had to go through that. I can't even imagine how scary that was with four babies, when I fear every little thing w/ two.

I found your blog from the Murray Crew Blog. (They are friends of mine.) I have to say that I'm rather addicted to reading your updates! :-) Multiples fascinate me-along with the fact that I LOVE children and was a nanny for twins several years ago! <BR/>It's been great to "see" how God is blessing you throughout this pregnancy-even in the trials. <BR/>I wish you the best throughout the rest of the pregnancy and for the sake of us that enjoy reading your story-I hope you don't make it 'invite only'!<BR/>Many prayers for you, your husband, and four precious little ones.

So sorry to hear about the kindey stones! It sounds horrible! Sometimes when pregant women come in we give them the "safe"- class B- narcotics for stones- but you know me I would tough it out too. You know I have read that sometimes women who have to have -sections grieve b/c they didn't have a "natural" birth process- Well now you can say you did it!- Maybe that's why you had the stones- I really hope they don't come back!!! I'll be praying about that for you.

I graduated in Dec. 2001 with a BSN. I have been following your blog after Lindsey E. told me about your situation. I, too, have struggled with infertility. We do have one child so far--he is 2 1/2 years old. He is my pride and joy! Anyway, I had trouble with kidney stones when I was pregnant. My doctor prescribed a low dose of Vicodin, which is supposed to be safe. I really can't believe that your doctors didn't give you anything for pain! You may want to research Vicodin just in case you have more problems. I just had one episode during pregnancy, but I've had two other episodes when I was not pregnant. I have really enjoyed reading your story, and I have and will continue to pray for you and your growing family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-58790452873939899662007-05-06T21:48:00.000-05:002007-05-06T21:48:00.000-05:00Suz- I can't even imagine passing kidney stones!

I have had lots of pregnant friends who have had the same thing. From what I understand, it is fairly common in pregnant women!

I...I'm very sorry that you had to experience this. I've had more than a dozen kidney stones and had another last week or the week before. It's not terribly pleasant, that's for sure. <BR/><BR/>However, it's not true that you can't take narcotics (SHORT TERM) when you're pregnant. I've been given both codeine and percocet during my pregnancies. My husband's a pharmacist and pretty conservative about what he'll let me take what with the triplets and all, and he said that with pregnancy you can take just about any narcotic as long as it isn't long-term. (Admittedly, neither codeine nor percet does much to help the pain of kidney stones, but it IS better than nothing)<BR/><BR/>While I know that you're more likely to get a kidney stone after you've already had one, most people I know have had one, maybe two, kidney stones in their lives. I'm the exception. So I wouldn't worry too much that you're in for a lifelong battle of stones.Ms. Perkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923832430040384294noreply@blogger.com
