      Pregnancy increases the risk for first-time symptomatic kidney stone formation which peaks close to the time of delivery but can persist even a year later, a population-based, case-controlled study suggests.

        @sandipan The risk of a pregnant woman developing a symptomatic kidney stone was higher in women with obesity compared with those of normal weight (P = .01). And compared with women who had not been pregnant before, one prior pregnancy also increased the risk of having a symptomatic kidney stone by approximately 30%, although two or more prior pregnancies did not significantly increase symptomatic kidney stone risk.
