It's possible to have blood in the urine during or after the colic attacks due to impacted stones in the ureter. May cause swelling of the kidney also. you need to ask your Doc. about the severity.

It also showed that there was bile in my bladder.

If you are talking of bile in the gall bladdre, then it is normal. I really didn't get your question. please clarify.

Stones in the kidney will not cause green stools however gall bladder stones may or may not. After you deliver get yourself reexamined for urinary as well as gall bladder problems, better generally after 6 weeks post-partum (following pueperium, if there is no acute attacks & everything goes well).

Does anyone know if this is normal? Can anyone answer my > questions?
