Ok, could really do with some advice! I'm currently exclusively breastfeeding my 2 1/2 month old and it's going really well. However, just found out I have 2 kidney stones (found during scan for something else) and am due to have the shock wave therapy next week.
My main worry is that something will go wrong and I will be hospitalised and not be able to feed my baby. The procedure is done as an outpatient and doesn't take long so this alone shouldn't be an issue. The urologist was going to give me a medicine which is unsafe for breastfeeding but has said I can leave that one. However, I'm terrified that something will go wrong afterwards when passing the stones and I will have to be away from my baby. Never tried her on a bottle and don't have a stash of frozen milk.
Obviously, even though I'm in no pain, it's best to have the procedure done so the stones don't cause any problems. The urologist has said it is none urgent though as is willing to defer (no idea how long for through.)
Has anyone had lithotripsy or have any advice for me?
Thank you
