Gallbladder and pregnancy
So when I was 6 weeks pregnant I went to the hospital with gallbladder issues. They said they would want me to wait until the second trimester to remove the gallbladder because that was the safest time to do it. They've put me on a diet that's low calorie, low cholesterol, dairy free. I'm still in the first trimester and I'm having issues keeping food down anyway, so it's not that big of a deal.
The dr went ahead and scheduled my surgery and I'll be 14 weeks along. They dr said it wasn't a big deal, my OB didn't seem to think it was a big deal, however my sister (a nurse) said she was talking to some people she worked with and they told her they wouldn't do it until after the babies get here. She now wants me to go get a second opinion.
My only issue is trying to eat to get the nutrients to the babies (I've already lost 15 lbs since I got pregnant).
Has anyone else had gallbladder issues while pregnant? If so what did you do?
