Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
A kidney stone causes pain,but at 21 weeks,it can be treated without tension.
Anesthesia isn't a risk,if there's no medical problems.
Abortion is out of question,if you want to continue with the pregnancy.
You haven't written details of stone size,number or severity of kidney damage. You should give reports of urine culture,creatinine,uric acid,etc.
It may be possible, to just stent the right kidney and treat the stone later.
If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question to me.
