This is going to be a very long pregnancy

[hartmel]

I'm exactly 19 weeks now, as of week 17 I started to get some stomach pain and digestion problems.. Ended up for an afternoon at the hospital and when I went to see my doctor for a regular check up, he tells me he received the report from the hospital and that I possible have gallbladder stones. Well since the weekend the pain is getting worse when I sit to long.. I have an office job. I don't want to leave now already just because the bigger the baby is getting the more it will put pressure onto the gallbladder.

I don't know what to do. I'm trying to stay away from fatty foods, which is not easy as most everything I can eat now in pregnancy is fatty..

I'm seeing my specialist next week then I will ask her what I can do..

Poor you. Gallbladder pain is the worst.
I had really bad gallstones towards the end of my pregnancy with DD. It ended up with pancreatitus and me having to be operated on at 37 +3 weeks. and having many pain killing drugs including morphine.
I hope the specialist has some good pointers for you x

Ask your GP or MW for a referral to a dietician, you can avoid trigger foods with help!

Feeling your pain, I was diagnosed with 3 rather large kidney stones last week - when they're playing up its unbearable :( but others are correct, they will so everything they can to make sure you are comfortable. My consultant has given me coedine for the pain, recommended some procedures but as I am 35+2 we are going down the induction route. Hope you can get some answers and they look after you.

This sounds really tough! I'm sorry you're going through this, I can't imagine how hard it would be to be working and have all that going on! Really hope they can help ease the pain soon. xx
