Yesterday I took the whole day off for my doctor's appointment. I had to do the 1 hour GD test which involved drinking some sugary concoction that tasted like really sweet Hawaiian Punch (I doubt I'll be drinking HP anytime soon).
I'm glad I thought to take the whole day off because I woke up with a UTI. At the doctor's office I told them I suspected a UTI and they asked, "How do you know?" Um... because I'm not a moron?!? Seriously, if a woman who had a UTI three weeks ago (and you called in meds for her) tells you she has another UTI, you have to ask her how she knows?
I digress.
My urine sample had a lot of blood, so they believed me. I got a Rx of Macrobid and went happily on my way.
About an hour after leaving the office I started to get this dull, achy pain on the right side of my back, you know, around my kidney. I took a nap, used a heating pad, and it didn't get any better so I finally called the doctor's office (I was almost in tears, Jennings of course thought I was over exagerating, but whatevs). I told them I suspected a kidney stone.
They called in Tylenol-3 and scheduled me for a renal ultrasound this morning. I went ahead and took today off as well.
Sometime last night, during one of many trips to the bathroom, I felt a strange feeling while going #1. I didn't think much of it as I knew I had the UTI.
This morning, I woke up feeling amazing. Apparently, I passed the stone last night.
At the ultrasound we did discover that my right ureter was dialted, which could be because of the stone, or simply that I'm pregnant. We'll never know now.
Luckily, didn't see anymore stones so hopefully I'll be good the rest of the pregnancy. Fingers crossed.
