I'm 13+5 weeks pregnant, I've had blood in my urine on and off for 6-7 weeks now. GP tested for infection and it was negative. A few weeks later I had a dull ache in my lower back on the right hand side which got increasingly worse until I couldn't stand. I was throwing up from the pain and went to a+e. Pain suddenly completely stopped. My urine and bloods came back fine. They suspected kidney stones but an ultrasound scan didn't pick any up. Same thing happened a week later and they sent me home and said everything was fine and to drink water and and take paracetamol.
Last week I started weeing blood again but this time there were small blood clots in my urine too. I also constantly felt like I needed a wee. I spoke to my GP who did another urine sample which again came back negative for infection. They called the urology department at my hospital and I was seen the next day. Blood and urine came back clear again. Had another US of kidneys which showed no stones and that my kidney was draining fine and looked fine. Told to drink water and take paracetamol and they'll do a CT scan in June after the baby has been born. They give me antiobiotics just incase it was an infection which I've been taking.
I've now had worsening pain for nearly 48 hours in the same area and again am at the point where I can hardly walk, I'm retching from the pain. Paracetamol and hot water bottle are doing nothing. I'm drinking about 3 litres or more of water a day. It's really unbearable and I don't know what to do, I keep just getting told I'm fine and to drink water. What would you do in this situation?
