Dictionary: kidney stone
n.
A small hard mass in the kidney that forms from deposits chiefly of phosphates and urates.
So for the past couple of weeks I have been having very bad cramps and just chalked it up to the joy of pre-term labor. No mid back pain, and a little bit of low back pain (another symptom of pre term labor according to my Dr.) This morning I hurt, I thought I was getting a UTI and after little bit of bleeding I told Jason to get dressed we are going to an Insta care. So knowing the drill of treatment for a UTI, having work in the medical field for 4 years now, I gave a sample and in that sample there was a little thing that looked like a piece of sand about the size of a pin head. I showed the nurse and the Dr. was very excited to actually have caught it in the sample. I asked if I could keep it so I could take a picture of it and show it to my family but the Dr. lady said we should probably send it to the lab just to see what it's made of. So I have officially joined the family kidney stone club. Thanks for the genes mommy!

so that picture was not actually your stone? It looked pretty big.
And well, you know, BIG stones is the only way I know how do grow them.
Sorry you have joined the club! It's not a great one to join. Hopefully that will be it!????
No it is not my stone, I just grabbed a pic off the internet. it was the same color and this one is way zoomed in.
You poor thing, it isn't enough to have the lil one kicking non stop, and contractions left and right but lets add a kidney stone...I'm so sorry, at least it is out and hopefully you wont have another.
