Right upper abdominal pain???

in October 2014 Moms
Since around 13 weeks pregnant I've had this upper right abdominal pain. My OB said it was normal growing pains...however over the last 2 weeks it's getting worse and more constant, coming in waves and seems to be worse when I eat. Last night it woke me from sleep at 2 am and radiated into my shoulder blade. Got an appointment tomorrow morning. Does any of you experience this??? I'm worried it's my gallbladder!! I'm an RN so I always think the worst lol.

    Hmmm, it could be your gallbladder, especially since you describe it flaring up after meals. Pregnancy makes us more susceptible to gallbladder problems.

    In my first pregnancy, I had some pretty serious right upper quadrant pain an ended up in the ER around 16-17 weeks for a gallbladder ultrasound. My gallbladder turned out to be OK, and the pain was caused by inflammation in my ribs from all my organs pushing up. The inflammation calmed down a few weeks after that and I had no further issues. I hope they find it's something similarly minor for you! Feel better soon.

    I am having the same issue, I have an ultrasound on Monday to look at my gallbladder.  I know this isn't a "misery loves company" situation, but all I can say is, you're not alone!  Good luck!

    It sounds like your gallbladder to me too.  I had mine out just before my first pregnancy and it was the best thing I ever did.  Gallbladder attacks are miserable.
