I have had a nephrostomy tube for 5 weeks. I am 29 weeks pregnant. I have had three brand new tube placements in the five weeks due to my tubes clogging completely. It's a very painful process and am pain after the procedure daily. I have developed a kidney infection due to my latest blocked tube. I have been hospitalized for a week for each tube change. They are now having me flush four times a day in hope the tube doesn't clog and schedule tube changes every two weeks. I'm worried two weeks will be too long because my drainage is bloody with tons of sediment. Has anyone else had this problem while pregnant. Tube and all? I have only had this latest tube for 5 days. I am miserable, just lay around all day, blood in my drainage bag along with sediment. I've been out of the hospital only two days.
