Pregnant with a stent

Im going out of my mind! I realize the pain I had prior to my stent is 100x better but I was hospitalized and given dilauded ! I'm 26w4d pregnant with my 4th and never ever had this before. My kidney ruptured 2 weeks ago and no stone was actually seen and after 3 days in the hospital I had a little blood in my urine. They think the baby was blocking my ureter but I'm not so sure. They gave me oxycodone 5mg for pain as needed and because I'm pregnant I only take 1or 2 a day if I can't take the pain. I have 16 more weeks of this and I'm seriously considering having the tube in my back and a bag, I forget what it's called. I felt great the 1st week now I'm bleeding more peeing is torture and now my kidney is starting to hurt. My dr just says I havero deep with it and I don't like her answer! Unfortunately I'm a plumber and have to work, I'm the boss so I just kind of hang out and tell my men what to do but I feel so bad all day long and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do this forever...please help!

I too am pregnant and having to do a 24 hr catch because of albumin in my urine. Im terrified of hospitalization but i have read albumin is usually a sign of decreased kidney function (which would explain my other symptoms) hope its over soon for u!

I had a stent put in 3 days into my hospital stay, it's not comfortable! It's torturous and in 3 weeks I need it changed and I'm afraid it will hurt more!
