Can I share with you another mom’s situation?

She is pregnant and has a large kidney stone, and normally these can be broken up with lithotripsy (a quick, non-invasive procedure), but she didn’t want to risk hurting her baby.

So, she is living with the stone until the baby is born. She must be so brave. The stone blocks the urine from draining, so she has a tube from her kidney that carries the urine out into a little bag.
(Her sister even had a stylish fabric cover made for the bag–a pretty pee pee purse!) 😛

Soon, the baby will be born, and the stone will be disintegrated by shock waves. Neat!
