kidney pain
So I have been having some horrible kidney pain any ideas on what to do? I'm now 17 weeks pregnant and I have tried everything except going to the er at this time.
Oh no! So sorry to hear this. But glad you're getting the help you need. My mom had her gallbladder removed last week. She is sore, but so relieved to be done with the hellish pain that sack o' rocks was causing her. It is a routine laparoscopic surgery, but I understand pregnancy compounds the situation. Best of luck to you. And BTW, I hope your boyfriend ate some humble pie, and apologized for being so unsupportive!
Oh no, :/ keep us updated! I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery hun!

But my bf told me I'm being dramatic and stuff. Anyways thank you all for the support and advice
might be a UTI I had a real bad one when I was in my first trimester the DRs thought I was having contractions the pain was so bad. and another one in my second trimester that made my kidneys hurt.
Pregnant women often times do not feel the symptoms of a UTI (urinary tract infection) of burning, urgency, and spasms. This leaves the bacteria free to spread, and it does, up the ureters and into the kidneys. This kidney infection is called pyelonephritis, and it WILL get your attention. The back pain is severe. Sometimes making it too painful to stand upright. Fever, chills, diziness, and waves of nausea soon follow. You cannot let an infection like this go unchecked. It is quite dangerous to mom and baby. I suggest getting a same day appt. with your doc, or go straight to the maternity ward. They will take a urine sample (likely via catheter to get a sterile sample) to test for the infection. If pyelonephritis is the problem, a two day hospital stay on an antibiotic drip will be necessary to clear the raging infection. This happened to me at 32 weeks pregnancy with my baby#2. If you feel ill, and achy beyond relief, you need to get ahead of this asap.
Contact your OB asap. They will most likely order a renal ultrasound to see if you have stones. They will also check ur urine for kidney infection. If the pain gets unbearable, definitely go to ER. You dont want to be in too much pain while pregnant, it can stress baby out. Ive dealt with numerous stones. Take care
