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.

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!
