Mention it to your doctor. They can do an ultrasound to see if there are stones in or fluid around the gallbladder. Pregnant women are at an increased risk of gallbladder problems and the greasy food trigger is classic. As someone else said, before going to the doctor you can try to see if you can elicit Murphy's sign. While laying down, just press your hand upward on the right side of your stomach under your ribcage while inhaling. If it's painful and makes you catch your breath, that points to inflammation around the gallbladder. Depending on the severity you may just need to avoid fatty, greasy foods and then readdress the issue after you give birth. You can have your gallbladder removed during pregnancy if severe enough but it doesn't sound like its at that point for you.
Not sure where to post.. 😕
Okay, so For months now.. since before i found out i was pregnant... Everytime i eat something fried i get really really bad pains in my stomach going to my back and all in my rib area. . I assumed it was cuz i was pregnant and baby just didnt like it when i found out i was pregnant but now someone told me it could be my gall bladder. And i remember awhile ago i had a CT scan and in the report on my mychart online it said my gall bladder was enlarged but obviously not enough for concern since it was mever mentioned to me from the doctor.. Could the doctor even do anything now to see if its my Gall bladder causing the pain? I mean the pain is bad it wakes me up at night and ill cry.. i barely ever eat fried foods its only been a couple of times.. Has anyone had any problems with their Gall bladder while pregnant?? I am going to mention it to the doctor but i feel they xant do anytbing for it now anyways since i am pregnant... 😯

If u get that from the fried food, it's ulcer. My mom has it and she's had it for years. She takes meds for that but u can also help it by eating healthier

Eliminate it and see if it still hurts the same. I have pain when I drink soda and I do occasionally because I crave it
