My Urologist removed it by going in through the natural opening with a tiny camera and some tools and "blasted" it. The stent stayed in for a couple of weeks and I did have some preterm labor. My son was born 5 days late by C-section (it wasn't a result of the kidney stone} Maybe this is an option for you. Be sure that they give you plenty of IV fluid. No one knew how exactly how to deal with me and my condition so I was only given the amount of fluid a non-pregnant woman would need. The dehydration led to the contractions. I am pregnant again and quite scared this could happen again. Good luck to you!! pregnancy. Celeste, I am passing a lot of blood and blood clots in my urine now. I have asked the urologist if this is a problem but his nurse said it is normal.I wonder if this will do any permanent damage to my kidneys.Thanks for the advice about fluids!My urologist also went in with a scope I'm not sure why they didn't do that proceedure (blasted) other than this is a very rare thing?My usual OB did not even know what it was. The OB on call had seen it before when I went in and luckly he called a urologist right away.As far as I know this is the urologists first experience with a stone and stent in a pregnant women.I just hope I can hang on for a few more weeks! Amy
