Gallstones or Gas ?

This could be a sign of preeclampsia I’m so confused on why you were sent home wow !

I did! I was told it was a "sludgy" gallbladder and I was put on a low fat diet. They said the gallbladder works harder during pregnancy so the regular liquid it let's out can get thick and it trying to release it is what the pain is from. I've had no symptoms since switching to a low fat diet. My pain was so severe it shot up my back and I thought I was in preterm labor.

However, my er waited until the pain was gone before they sent me home. They gave me an antacid while I was there and had me wait. I have heard it's not uncommon to have to have your gallbladder removed during pregnancy.

oh god. I had a huge gallbladder issue about 8 yrs ago that made me have bouts of diarrhea and lots of pain there. Gallbladder was inflammed like a ballooon and had alot of scars tissue. Fixed itself magically but im having pains again now pregnant similar to it. I have an appt Thursday so we shall see. I want to ask ob to check billirubin levels. I check my bp often cuz preeclamp runs im my family.

If it happens right before a bowel movement or right after you eat could be digestive related too. Also many possibilities. Of you get a chance, ask for them to check ur gallbladder and billirubin levels.

Update . It is gallstones & inflammation of the gall bladder also my liver enzymes are high. So I have to go in for an mri

ugh 😩 i heard thats so common in pregnancy.

@Mina I'm so glad someone finally gave you answers and a direction to go in! Hoping it starts to feel better!

@Xiomara E. I've heard that too, that our gallbladders take a beating working for 2!
