38 Weeks 3 Days
Kidney Infection/Stones!!!
Well I woke up this morning as usual and got Brenton up. Fed him and we were playing in his room. At around 10am I suddenly started getting super bad cramps on my right side! I knew contractions were felt all over and not just one side. So I called the doctor, and she suggested I come in to be checked. So I got my hospital bags packed and put in the car, just in case! We got there and she checked my cervix. She said only minimal change. (She didn't say exactly) And suggested I take a urine sample for her.
Well it turns out I had white blood cells in my urine as well as a good amount of blood. Which totally makes sense to me! Since I have been telling Alan the past few days, my urine has been really dark for the amount of water I drink. So what does this mean??? It means 1 of 2 things. Either I have a Kidney Infection or Kidney Stone trying to make its way out. So what can we do??? Absolutely nothing! It means I will be in pain for the rest of my pregnancy until Savannah arrives! So thank goodness I only have 6 days left but at the same time 6 days seems like forever! She told me that if its a kidney infection its most likely because Savannah is sitting on my kidney, literally! Which is giving it the lack of circulation, causing it to swell and get infected! It wont go away until I give birth! If its a stone it wont go away until I pass it. So I am to drink more water than normal to help it pass! Stones are also to be more painful than labor! My question for the doctor was how am I to know if Im in labor then?! Her reply she wasn't to sure! So comforting!!! haha. I also have the fun symptoms of wanting to throw up and a fever.
So now I'm just in a lot of pain, super miserable, and literally sick! Lets hope the next 6 days goes faster!!!
