Thank you both so much!! My Urologist really didn't have any answers for me he just told me that since I'm pregnant he can't do anything further untill after I deliver simce no tests can be done while pregnant so he said he really doesn't know forsure if its a stone a blockage or anything but something is definitely wrong with my left kidney. Then I seen my ob the same day she said she's happy I didn't get the stent put in and they will bboth keep monitoring Nye to see how I am doing I go back to them in september and for now just got to drink a ton of water and keep emptying my bladder as much as possible and can't lift over 20lbs also I lost my job over this so I can rest more which is needed so I don't go into preterm ill keep everyone further updated its great having this app and knowing there are people who care and support one another:) thanks again sorry so long to read..

I ended up having surgery during my first pregnancy at 25weeks because of a stone or i should say multiple stones. The surgery itself is a breeze and doesn't cause any complications to the baby. Your awake during it since they give you a spinal block.
Im not sure what advice to give you cuz Im not sure the make up of your stone. Mine were calcium based. I had to stop taking prenatal vitamins and switch to just folic acid. Significantly decrease my calcium intake. I had to watch how much green vegetables i ate. I drank alot of cranberry juice as well.
