Q: Gallstones During Pregnancy
asked by: marijocsmith on April 23rd, 2004

I am 32 weeks pregnant and just found out I have gallstones. I hurt all the time mostly in my back under my right shoulder blade. I also have this constant burning under my ribs on the right side. The doctor told me that the best thing to do is have my gallbladder removed but he would like me to wait it out untill after I have the baby. Sometimes I feel like I should go to emergency room it hurts so bad, but am I being a weenie?

You are definetly not being a "weenie", I know these can hurt, because the only time I have ever seen him cry was when he had these. I've heard of it in pregnant women before too, and from every case i've ever seen they made them wait. Talk to your doc about remedies to ease the pain.

Good luck,
