help!

Yesterday my midwife told me I have probably have Kidney stones because my kidney hurts really bad and I have blood in my urine. She didnt run any tests or anything and honestly shes rather rude and just doesnt care about anything you have to say. I had a really bad kidney infection in January that got to where I couldnt eat for 2 weeks, couldnt drink, had a fever, it was awful. Im pretty sure thats what I have now. This morning I started throwing up, feel like i have a fever, can barely pee, my whole back hurts now and im cramping really bad. The question is, should I just gp ahead and go to the hospital or try to go to the dr again? I never actually get to see a Dr. And the midwives dont really care about anything that isn't contractions. I just dont know if it would be "overdramatic" to go to the hospital. Thanks!

Go to the emergency room. If you are prone to kidney issues then its better to be safe then sorry. An infection of any sort could be harmful to baby. If you arent confident in your midwife then maybe its time too look elsewhere once you're feeling better.

Go to the hospital. A kidney infection and kidneys stones are no joke. Your kidneys are helping to remove waste from your system and have to work a little harder now with baby in there. Its best to get it checked out before you develop any serious complications
