She experienced excruciating kidney stone pain during her second pregnancy. It began as a dull ache in her lower back, gradually radiating to the front side of her abdomen. The pain came and went at first, but soon became relentless. Along with the pain came intense nausea and episodes of vomiting—an overwhelming and exhausting combination for anyone, let alone a pregnant woman.
Desperate for relief, she turned to natural remedies. She started drinking citrus-infused water, hoping the acidity would help break down the stone. She also tried homeopathic treatments, pomegranate juice, and a powerful mixture of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar in plenty of water. Hydration became her top priority, and she even added coconut water for extra electrolytes and support.
Despite her efforts, the pain intensified, and she eventually had to go to the emergency room. As fate would have it, she passed the stone just as they arrived—a moment of both agony and immense relief.
