I woke up yesterday with a lot of back pain. I’m 20 weeks. I chalked it up to normal pregnancy problems. So I went to work and suffered my way through. Last night I was up all night. This morning I have a fever, chills, throwing up, and peeing blood. I called my OB because I don’t want to go to the ER because I have nobody to watch my 2 year old. It’s been almost 2 hours and they haven’t called me back. I’m so miserable. Nobody at work will cover for me. So either I take my 2 year old to the ER with me and skip work, or I go to work and be in excruciating pain again. My back pain right now is worse than labor. How do you cope with a kidney infection? Im so sick and stressed out because of my work and the Dr taking forever to call back

I’m 30w with twins and at 27 weeks got a kidney infection. It was horrible. I was admitted into high risk labor and delivery for 3 days with constant IV antibiotics and then discharged with 2 more weeks of them. You can’t just clear it up on your own. Pyelonephritis is serious and can harm both you and baby. Go to the ER.

Go somewhere and fast before you end up in the hospital! Urgent care or just go to the Doctors office.
Call them back or go to the nearest ER
Go to the ER sounds like your kidneys! Good luck
Well you need to go in if you’re peeing blood! I always take my kids with me and I always get an ‘I understand’ from the e.r. nurse and doctor. Back pains can be common as it may just be the way the baby is situated, but not the blood. Good luck mama.

Go to the ER. If your job can’t cover for you when you clearly need medical attention, report them. I mean, you’re peeing blood. Screw them! Your health and safety should be number one priority!

Take care of yourself , your children need you ! Your job doesn’t care about you or your child . If you get fired for going to the ER … file unemployment. Moms have to take care of themselves first !
Please go and get checked NOW, take drink snacks toys for the little one, did work, look after yourself and good luck
It sounds like kidney stones… Go to the ER
Sounds like gallstones not kidney stines hun. You have to go ER.
A lot of cities have an emergency baby sitter, not well known… Call the hospital or the police non-emergency number they may know. (my Lactation consultant told me about it).
You need to be seen. It sounds like possible kidney stones which make a kidney infection seem like nothing. The fact the pain is so bad, peeing blood and you’re puking is exactly like my friend went through when she had kidney stones. Being pregnant with those symptoms should get you called back quickly. You can also go to a stand alone ER and the wait times there are minimal.

Go to the ER. A job will replace you in a second, you only have one body so don’t kill it trying to satisfy a job.

Get to ER post haste! A upper kidney infection can turn into sepsis which is a very serious infection that can have devastating consequences.

Go to the er please. I’d say of you lived near me I’d watch your baby my 2 yr old would love a play mate since bubba is to little
Sounds like it could be a bad UTI that progressed into a kidney infection or from other issues. You really need to go get checked out. These infections can trigger preterm labor- please go to the ER. Important to treat renal infections, especially while pregnant.

You go o the ER NOW. Kidney infections during pregnancy can lead to sepsis. I had one during my pregnancy with my 4 month old. Yale OB kept me on antibiotics the whole pregnancy to keep it from becoming that bad.
I ended up being hospitalized with a kidney infection when I was pregnant with my youngest…because I just kept forcing myself thru the pain and taking care of my older kids. Definitely get seen, even if you have to take the 2yo to the ER with you.
There is no choice here. For your health and your unborn babies health go to the ER.
