Gallbladder?

Question

Anyone else experiencing gallbladder issues? I have a constant pain and went to the doctor today and she did confirm that the location was in fact my gallbladder but they cant really do anything while I’m pregnant

Answer

I found out this summer I have gallstones but my doctor said to just try to keep off the greasy fatty food. If the pain in excruciating then it would have to be surgery. I’m currently 33 weeks and thank god I haven’t had another bad episode of pain.

Answer

Me! I have had extreme weight loss over the past 11 months (114lbs and counting) and pregnancy is hard on the gallbladder as well. I’ve been having horrible pain and finally went to the ER where they confirmed that I have a ridiculous amount of stones. I met with a general surgeon who said that there is physically no room to take it out while I’m pregnant (currently 32 weeks) and that to have it removed I will have to deliver. 
So my plan of care is to eat a low fat diet and try to wait until little man is born. However, if it becomes emergent between now and then - or if I’m having daily attacks and can’t eat - then I will be induced and then have it removed.

Answer

Did they do an ultrasound to check for gallstones? My doctor thought I had that going on but the ultrasound was clear.
