I'm a little scared

Original post by Deb_n_Rob

Hi girls. I just came back from the dr. I am 16 weeks. Well, last night I was experiencing cramping along with today. The felt like second day period cramps. I actually was putting my feet up to feel better. The Dr. said it wasn't normal. I then told him I thought I had a bladder infection. I explained to him that I had a urine test done last week. He checked the results and found some bacteria which he wasn't too concerned about but what concerned him was the crystals that were found. He thinks I could have or am about to get kidney stones. The babies heartrate was good. He has me going for another urine test tomorrow morning. I am so nervous. Has anyone known anyone that had kidney stones while they were pregnant? I heard they are very painful. Also he said if the cramping continues, he'll take me out of work and I'll have to go on bed rest for awhile. I am scared.

My cousin had kidney stones with her first baby I believe she was 4 months at the time. I don't remember what they did for her but everything was fine with the baby.

Re: I'm a little scared

I had to go for another urine test this morning. I am going to call the DR. tomorrow to see the results. Since I am a teacher, I asked the school nurse what I should do. She said drink a lot of water. I plan on doing that tonight. It's weird though, I have such an urge to go to the bathroom, but I don't really go. I don't think I should be feeling this way so early on in my pregnancy. I don't have any back pain. The cramping today was very faint, so maybe I'll be fine. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I'll know more hopefully tomorrow. Thanks again everyone. You're all making me feel better.
