Gallstones

[littlemisssparkle]

Im 33+2wks...and was told by my Dr yesterday that he thinks im suffering from gallstones. Ive heard about gallstone flushes but are they safe to do during pregnancy?

that's very dangerous during pregnancy... drink hot water with lemon regularly 1/2 hour before meals and mint tea 1/2 hour after meals.

What did your doc say you should do? I had them during pregnancy and they were horrid, and then 3 weeks after he was born, I had the most dreadful chest pain and thought I was going to die. I was rushed to hospital and initially treated for a clot on my lung but it turned out it was gallstones! The pain was spectacular!
I had my gallbladder removed a few months later and feel TONS better. If your doc says have 'em out then do it!

Hi BagofHolly my Dr said to drink plenty water and to eat healthy he also gave me some co-codamol although I felt like I was on another planet when I took 2 this afternoon I also need to take a water sample in tomorrow to check for Bilirubin.

Drink plenty of water? I wonder what difference that makes? I found dense, fatty food really made things worse - I was brought to my knees my a treacle sponge pudding! My GP rocked back on her chair and said "fit, fat, fertile, fair, female and forty. Is your poo a bit pale?"
I squeaked "I'm only 38 and a half. And yes, like clay."
So I went for a scan and there were "multitudinous calceii" or something. When I had them out, they gave me them in a little jar, which was on the mantelpiece until recently, when my mum made me throw them out.
