UPDATE: T&P - Probable kidney infection

christinemurray91

Update: Packed up a bag just in case and headed to the drs. We listened to baby and he sounds good They said I  had a definitely bladder infection and it didn't seem like it had gotten to my kidneys yet (that's how it happened last time). They put me on an antibiotic, but they let me know it's possible it'll be resistant (maybe because I've had it before?) and might not respond to the antibiotics and continue to get worse. So, for now, I'm still at home, just really sore and hoping this round of antibiotics does it.

Okay, when I was pregnant with my first, I got a pretty serious kidney infection that was in both kidneys. I was in a lot of pain and was in the hospital for a week. 

I've noticed some my urine being a little darker than normal over the past couple days and a red flag went up, but I thought maybe I just wasn't drinking enough water... except I woke up this morning and I knew. I remember this pain from last time. It's just about definitely a kidney infection, in my right one. 

I'm terrified. Last time, I was in the hospital for a week, they had me hooked to an IV, running tests, doing ultrasounds... Its pretty routine to hospitalize to treat women with them when pregnant, but I have DD to take care of and I hate being in the hospital.

We'll see how it goes. I need to call my doctor and I'm sure they'll see me today.

Ugh.

Praying for you. If it is one, you probably caught it a lot earlier than last time since you know the symptoms, so maybe it will be easier to get rid of. Hoping its nothing!

Thanks for all the T&Ps guys, I love the support here!

I've posted an update in the original post

A friend of mine went through the exact same thing you described although they put in a stent and the rest of her pregnancy was smooth sailing.

Here's hoping you can avoid all of that this time!

Here are some "home remedies" you could do in addition to your antibiotics. I don't know if this is your thing but it couldn't hurt. Also garlic is a natural anti bacteria so eating more of that may help as well. Feel better soon and I hope your infection doesn't migrate!

Interesting! I'm definitely a believer in the power of food/supplements, lol. I'm even going grocery shopping today, so I'm adding a few things to the list
