Anyone Had Gallstones When They Are Pregnant?
Posted: 09-11-06 10:00am

Just wondering , ive been thinking its realy bad indigestion btu reading the symptoms of gallstones they match alot better. 3 times in the past month I get this really bad pain that is at the top of my pregnant belly lol it radiates to my back but it hurt soooooo bad those 3 times that I cant like move posotions to help it at all, ive taken tums but it didnt help. It hurts soo bad im in tears and I cant even stand straight last week I got the pain took tums it just got worse then I took a pepcid but then I got naousous and wound up throwing up but then the pain subsided so im not sure if it could be gallstones or indigestion cuz I cant pinpoint a food that triggers it.

Greasy food will trigger it I never had it being pregnant but I had mine taken out in 1997..It's very pain full if you eat greasy food it will trigger it that how you will know my sister ended up with it when she was pregnant in 1997 after she had baby they took her in and had them taken out...How far along are you.. I hope all goes well for you..Good luck

It sounds like gallstones is a possibility. I had an attack while I was pregnant, but I just didn't know that's what it was until 3 months after I had him. I really thought it was gastritis.

I would suggest that next time you experience that again, go to the hospital! Let them know that you read up on gallstones and if you could be checked for it. An u/s will detect it.

Good luck!
