Answer 1

I'd tell my doctor that it was hurting more. I remeber when I had mine taken out. I had been having pain for a few weeks and then I had an attack, I thought I was dying.. having a heart attack or something horrible. But I would go to the doctor cause if one stone gets stuck that would be terrible painful. Mine was infected also so you might need to go on anti-biotics. you can never be to careful.

Answer 2

hi! I went through the same thing during my last pregnancy, one time it was so bad I ended up in the ER. I was given vicadin for the pain. the doctor told me it wouldn't harm the baby...so that is what I used at the beginning of a flare up, it helped with the pain.(and that is one pain I don't wish on anyone.) I also made sure I stayed away from all fatty foods. check with your doctor and see if you can take it..believe me it helps. and I also walked a lot when it started to hurt...for some reason it helped as well.

Answer 3

All the women in my family had that too..I haven't yet but I might as well start packing for the hospital now! I don't know of any other ways besides the usual ones, maybe your doctor could recommend some things. Congratulations on the pregnancy :-)
