2 yrs ago I had a kidney stone that took 6 whole days to pass and my Mom, who also had them, told me that the pain I was feeling was worse than labor because it is 24x7 and more intense. Do any of you experienced both? How does the pain of a kidney stone compare to labor? Thanks.

I had a kidney stone after giving birth to two daughters. Let me tell you childbirth has nothing on kidney stones. When you are in labor the pain is like a wave. The pain is intense but then it releases and you have a break. With a kidney stone it is constant. I would have 10 births before ever wanting to go through the pain of a stone. Your mom was right. Since you have had one then childbirth will be no surprise to you. Good luck!!:o)

My stone was very painful, so much so that I remember that at day 4 I asked my mom to kill me! :) I could not bare the pain anymore, and I still had to endure 2 more days of hell. I want to have a natural birth without an epidural, and I am hoping the stone experience will give me the strenght to do it. :) Thanks for your response.

i am 23 weeks and just got out of the hospital after a 4 day stay from kidney stones.I still have more to pa__s.I have a child already and yes your mother is right. Pa__sing a kidney stone is far more worse than having a baby.I was on strong pain meds and still was in so much pain

my grandmother had two children and 5 kidney stones. she swears the stones were incomparably worse. i pa__sed a stone a few years ago. i seriously thought i had ruptured an intestine. i was terrified to go to the hospital but convinced i was dying just the same. it is even worse for men.

what a relief it is to hear that kidney stones are worse. I had kidney stones three years ago and survived the pain (with the help of my good friend, Vicodin). But even before I was given those pain meds., I handled it. It's good to know that I will be able to handle child birth pain as well.

I have a rare kidney disease it is called Medullary Sponge Kidney. In other words my kidneys produce kidney stones. I just found out I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I have been trying to find somewhere I could get someones opinion who has had both this really helped me out because I was scared. Kidney stones I can handle but the unknown I cant.

I also have medullary sponge kidney - I have noticed since I became pregnant (7 weeks currently), that I've probably pa__sed a kidney stone a week - not fun. But it's not really a risk factor, and I'm trying to compensate by drinking plenty of fluids. And after having kidney stones so many times (some extremely painful), I'm thinking childbirth will be a cinch! LOL.
