i called the doc office, and they are going to get it to the doc right away. then sending me for an ultrasound of the gallbladder and one to check on baby (to see how the baby is holding up with it). since i have had attacks almost everynight they are talking about surgery before the baby is born if not a c section and take it out the same time.
after telling the nurse how it felt she said it sounds just like her attacks. and pushing it through to the doc fast. i shall know more soon.
thanks ladies for you advice down below.
Re: gallbladder post update
we have a major family history of GB problems, and they thought that mine was acting up early in second tri. I ended up being okay, but I was begging them to take it out. They normally do the procedure laproscopicly, but when you are pg, they have to do it normally. I was told the surgeon will only do it if you are in the second tri, but someone else told me that they will in third tri also.
Good Luck!
I was diagnosed with Gallbladder disease at 14 weeks and one surgeon wanted to do surgery right away. It made me very uncomfortable.

Only you know what is right for you, but try a low/no fat vegetarian diet for a few weeks. It took me about 2-3 weeks to really start feeling better and it was worth it!
I monitor my blood work every 3-4 weeks to check on my white blood cell count and my liver function. So far, so good. Let me know if you have any questions. This was a hard decision for me to make - I imagine it is for you too.
