I think I have gallstones. :(

I kept randomly getting this pain in my back after I'd eat dinner for the past couple weeks, but just attributed it to the way I was sitting after a long day. Now I've realized it's after every time I eat (almost), and the pain is getting worse. I had pizza for dinner last night and was in awful pain for hours. It's always in the exact same spot. Via Dr. Google, I realized that gallbladder problems are more common during pregnancy and pain under the right shoulder blade points to gallbladder, especially since it's always after I eat. Bland cereal for breakfast was fine today... cake a few hours later has me sitting here writhing in pain. Would you call the OB tomorrow or a general Dr.? I have no idea if my family dr. will even touch me since I'm pg... I'm assuming I'll just manage with diet until LO comes, but it freaking hurts!

So sorry to hear you're in that much pain - that's awful. I would talk to your OB first on Monday and see what he says, then take it from there. If it gets worse today/tonight, don't risk it and get yourself to the ER.

I hope you feel better and keep us posted.

Definitely call your OB. I complained at one of my appointments about pain I was having (it wasn't even as bad as yours sounds) and she immediately ordered an abdominal ultrasound. It turned out to be nothing, but your OB is better equipped to get you in for an ultrasound more quickly than going to your family doc. Good luck - hope you feel better soon!

Thanks ladies. I'll call my OB first thing tomorrow. Luckily the "cake pain" only lasted about an hour. I think I'll stick to plain cereal for now!

I had my gall bladder, pancreas and right kidney looked at last week with an ultra sound. It was painless, quick and showed no stones! My OB is the one who scheduled it based on my symptoms. Totally worth the call to your Dr.
