This week I haven’t been feeling great. I’ve had some pain on the right side of my back. Well, normally I would have automatically thought UTI or Kidney Infection. However, with this pregnancy I have had lots of back pain so I just ignored it. I mean I have been dealing with this and going to a chiropractor for almost all of the pregnancy. Not only that, I went to the ER back in my first trimester thinking it was a terrible UTI and it was something with my back that led to the chiropractor visits.
Anyway, back to this week. I haven’t felt great and Jay has been out of town so I have just been hanging out with Jayci. Yesterday, the right side of my back was killing me and I just drank some extra water and chalked it up to nothing. Until this morning….I woke up to see my urine this very DARK RED color and just was feeling crampy. Again, at this point I called my OB’s office and I’m not really concerned. I’m totally convinced it’s a UTI at this point. However, my doctor is out today so after explaining my symptoms to his nurse she wanted me to go to the labor and delivery unit. Mainly because of the cramping part.
Long story short they think I have a kidney stone. I am to stay hydrated and just wait for it to pass. I mean what kind of crap is that? Just wait for this pain to come. I am a little nervous because I have heard terrible stories of people passing kidney stones. I get that I have labor and a baby coming up but I have heard that they are even worse then labor. Anyway, I’m a little nervous about passing this thing to say the least.
Okay well my husband is home tonight and I couldn’t be happier. I love him so much and so happy that he got to come home a little early. And just for fun here is a picture of my Jayci girl. I edited it on photoshop express which was a free app for my iPhone. I love her little profile!
Hope you all have a great weekend! I have to work Friday and Saturday night then have a shower on Sunday to look forward to. OH and the possibility of passing a kidney stone. HA
