Gallbladder Disease And Prgnancy
Posted: 08-21-07 19:25pm

I have recently found out that I have Gallbladder disease. They appera to be a lot of them. I also found out that I am pregnant. Since my case of Gallblader Disease is kind of severe, will it be a problem when I get bigger? Will it squish my gallbladder and stones and cause serious problems?

I was in a lot of pain during my pregnancy, & come to find out 2 mos after I gave birth, I had appendicitis & gallbladder disease. I was 5 mos. pregnant when I went to the hospital for the abdominal cramping & gallstone "attacks." They tried to see what was wrong using an ultrasound, since they couldn't use X-Ray since I was pregnant... & couldn't figure out what was causing me pain, they just had guesses. Which at the time they didn't know were actually right. Anyways though, my pregnancy was just more uncomfortable than most. If it at anytime risks your life though, they may advise you have a medical abortion. Oh, & I'm sure the dr's have already gone through this, but stay away from spicy, & fatty foods (especially fast food). Those foods cause you to go into the gallstone attacks, which really hurt! Take care of yourself & good luck.
