Galbladder and possible complications

I have had 4 galbladder attacks in 3 weeks. The last one put me in the hospital for 2 days on heavy pain meds and antibiotics. Dr. will not take the galbladder unless necessary. My galbladder is full of stones and inflamed. They are concerned about a blockage and have talked to me about possibly going into early labor. Im 28 weeks today and concerned about my dr appointment tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation with any of their pregnancies. What was the out come and were you put on bed rest?

Re: Galbladder and possible complications

  • I'm so sorry to hear it. It is such an awful awful pain. Worse than labor, IMO. 

    I don't have experience with attacks at 28w. I got them with my DD when I was 34w and after she was born. 

    I had mine removed at 14w this time, about 3 months ago. It was full of stones and inflamed. It was necessary. 

    All I can say is that I wish you the best of luck and hope you can keep that baby cooking and get it taken out when you can. I hope your doctors have some good advice for you! Good luck!

  • I personally haven't had a gallbladder problem but my DH did. Have you thought about getting a second opinion? I would think if it's inflamed and lots stones they would want to remove but I'm no doctor. Either way I wish you the best of luck and hope it gets better.
