I have been having sharp pains under the right side of my ribs and right under the middle of my ribcage for about 3 weeks. The pain is not everyday, but it has happened enough to make me worry. When the pain happens, it is uncomfortable and sharp enough to cause tears. I thought it was just a stomach bug, because occasionally I would vomit or feel naseaus. I went a week without eating at night because of this feeling. At my 30 week appointment they noticed I had lost 2 pounds, and I was having the pain too. Doctor sent me to get ultrasound of gallbladder on thursday, but did not receive the fax on time to notify me on friday. Now I am anxious to know what is wrong with me, and scared another attack might happen over the weekend. Today I just feel bloated and uncomfortable, I am afraid to eat. What do you think is wrong with me? I am worried that Monday they will tell me nothing is wrong, but I know something is not right in my body. The doctor says baby is fine and strong.
