Medical Catch 22


So Baby Mama has kidney stones since she was a kid. Her stones are caused by calcium deposits. Now, prenatal vitamins (and all the lovely stuff preggos take) has calcium for the baby. That causes her to have more painful stones.

Usually, medicine can be taken to help ease the stones' movement out of the body. But since she is pregnant, the medicine can't be use. Another medicine may be used but she would need to be hospitalized so that they can monitor her (presumably because they are using a high risk drug).

Yesterday she told me that she doesn't want to go to the hospital for the meds because she rather save the money for a couch.

Go figure.

  1. Yeah, I don't want to have to stay in the hospital to be monitored... The money can be better used elsewhere!
