some one please help me figure it out... I
am 5 weeks pregnant and was recently
hospitalized with an accute gb attack i
have a pollup in my gb and they want to do
surgery, i am still in quite a bit of pain
and am sick all day. is there a chance of
loosing the baby if i agree to the surgery
and if so how high is the risk?
I am not sure of the risk factors of that
one, but i know that people have had there
gallbladder removed while pregnanct, maybe
wait until you 15 weeks or so to do the
surgery. Before the baby gets to big but
not before 12 weeks when there is a high
risk for misscarriage. I developed
gallstones at 20 weeks pregnant . I only
had 3 attacks while pregnant though ,
after I had my daughter they were once a
week, so now 3 mths after my daughter was
born i am having my gallbladder removed.

I agree with what just tinkinpink84
replied on you...There are women who got
there gallbladder removed while
pregnant..And that you should have them
after the first tri-mister of pregnancy or
even the second..Its maybe dangerous for
the baby when you take your surgery
earlier than the said time. Because the
baby inside you is still developing.
If you are still worried about the
gallbladder surgery, why not ask your
doctor about it.
