I am scared of getting a kidney stone is there anything i can do to not get one?

Water/ liquids: Lots of it... Stones form when urine gets concentrated. If you drink a lot of liquids, it is less likely to get concentrated and form kidney stones. There are numerous other factors but if you've never had one before, staying well hydrated is the best prevention.
