Yesterday around 6 p.M. I started getting a pain in my right side. It became severe within seconds. I wasn't contracting, so I wasn't sure what it was. My mom got excited b/c she thought that was "it", but I knew better.
Well I called the ob nurse at the hospital and she said to go in right away. We were on the road, so I stopped at home to get my bags. At this point my husband was on his way home from work just in case.
Well I got there and the pain had went away almost completely. The ob Dr. Came in and checked me. I was still 1 cm and not having contractions, so labor was ruled out.
I had a urine test done and they found blood in my urine. The ob Dr. Thought it was a kidney stone. They hooked me up to an iv of fluid and the er Dr. Came in. He moved my legs around and poked my side. The pain came back at this point and it was going to my leg, my butt, and my back all on the right side. He thought it was my appendix. The nurse came in and said that if it was that they'd need to remove it and take the baby out. I didn't say anything, but inside I just wanted to cry. I didn't want to delivery my baby that way -- asleep without my husband.
Well I went for an ultrasound and they couldn't find my appendix, but saw some of my kidney. I had to lay on my left side for the ultrasound and the pain just went away like magic.
Well after looking at the results and the fact that the pain wasn't consistent, they came to the conclusion that I had a kidney stone. It wasn't big enough for me to feel it come out, but it was big enough to cause a lot of pain. My huge uterus probably just aggravated the situation. So, they kept me overnight to be sure the pain didn't come back. They gave me some pain medicine to help me sleep, but I couldn't sleep that much b/c of her heartbeat on the baby monitor and the uncomfortable bed, so I was very groggy. I was released this morning and I just slept for 6 hours.
I feel better now. My mom and husband wanted the kidney stone to wrap up in a pink blanket. Lol
