I am not sure of the risk factors of that one, but i know that people have had there gallbladder removed while pregnanct, maybe wait until you 15 weeks or so to do the surgery. Before the baby gets to big but not before 12 weeks when there is a high risk for misscarriage. I developed gallstones at 20 weeks pregnant . I only had 3 attacks while pregnant though , after I had my daughter they were once a week, so now 3 mths after my daughter was born i am having my gallbladder removed.

I agree with what just tinkinpink84 replied on you...There are women who got there gallbladder removed while pregnant..And that you should have them after the first tri-mister of pregnancy or even the second..Its maybe dangerous for the baby when you take your surgery earlier than the said time. Because the baby inside you is still developing.

If you are still worried about the gallbladder surgery, why not ask your doctor about it.
