Gallbladder issues

ashayer1979

I am 16 weeks 6 days pregnant and started having right shoulder pain and pain near my rib cage. Also have some increased nausea with slight abdominal discomfort. Was told it could be me gallbladder. Anyone else have this and if so what helped. I have another appointment Thursday to see if it is better or worse.

I had an attack a couple weeks ago and posted about it. In talking with my doctor and researching unless it is severely inflamed they will likely just monitor it and put you on a low fat diet. They don't like to operate on women when they are pregnant. If it is really bad then they could take it out. But my doctor didn't even do an ultrasound. She said to just continue the low fat diet because that's what she would have me do anyways. Then if it happens again we will re-discuss then.

Lol. As if this isn't actually a double post!

I haven't read @fishwife799's post yet OP, but I'd check that thread.

Same with me...low fat diet no ultrasound. I do feel better though. Had intense right rib pain into my back. Was almost every night after dinner.

I had horrible gall bladder attacks with DD. I had mine taken out when she was a month old. Low fat diet helps but mine got worse as my uterus expanded and my gall bladder had less room.
