Hey wise people and nurses - what on earth is this? (Maybe TMI)

[Lulu]

of course you should tell them about it! You might need your liver checked. It sounds terrible, I hope it resolves itself soon.

Have you had a lot of morning sickness? It could be kidney stones. They are meant to be more painful then labour! If it happens again, maybe go to the hospital.

Wow, scary. Definitely something you mention. I would go to another GP asap first though, that does NOT sound like something related to pregnancy. I was thinking a kidney infection or similar.

[Little Chicken]

Did the GP actually send a sample of wee for testing?

You should definately mention this to your care provider.

From the information you've described it sounds very much like either Galls Stones or Kidney Stones like others have said.

I've cared for a Woman on the Antenatal Ward who had Gall Stones and she was in a huge amount of pain and the pain was coming in waves like labour contractions. She would also vomit when the pain was there.

If you don't feel "listened to" by your current care provider, I would be finding another Dr very soon.

Good luck!

Definately tell them about it. It is quite common for pregnant women to get Gall Stones due to the increases levels of hormones.

Yeah she sent it off to testing and I never got called back. The policy at that particular surgery is if the results are clear, they don't call with the results. Which is why I only go to that particular surgery when I have no other choice...they're open Sunday mornings so we only go to them if we need to see a Dr on weekends (for things that can't wait until a weekday).

The nearest I can see my actual GP is Tuesday the 23rd (they're very good...so very busy), so I have an appointment for then. But as I said, I see a midwife this Tuesday morning at hospital for my 1st antenatal check.

However, this is the same midwifery clinic who didn't diagnose my Pre-Eclampsia (it was diagnosed during labour) when I was preg with Palmer and had v high bp, swelling, pitting, protein in my wee (you self-test there) and bad headaches. They told me to "take a Panadol". So, you see, I am a bit jaded becuase of that, and not sure I'll get taken seriously. It's a very busy clinic, they see hundreds of pregnant women a day, and are always tired and grumpy.

Sorry Sara - you posted just as I was typing the above.

Yes!!! It comes in waves just like contractions!

This is something I just Googled but gives you an idea.

I would definately mention this to the Midwife this week. If you have an "attack" in the mean time, go to the Hospital.

I hope you get the right diagnoses soon so it can all be sorted out for you!

I see the King Eddie clinics have not changed a bit then I would call the GP tomorrow and get the results confirmed so you can tell your middie at your appointment. I have known GP's to get positive urine cultures before and not bother to ring and tell because you are already on antibiotics.
