41 year old, expecting 3rd, everything going ok (apart from the usual -heartburn, exhaustion, constipation, older DC wearing me out...) but have had two episodes of severe abdominal pain.
It seems quite likely to be gallstones/ biliary colic. I have this pain twice before -just before DC2 was born and again just after. This was about 4 years ago, and I saw my GP who took some bloods and found that my liver function was off, caused, most likely by blockage in the biliary tree. No scan to confirm, as I was told it was probably pregnancy related and I might be lucky and never get it again.
The pain has been really severe. I thought I might be dying the other night! I’m now really worried this is going to keep happening for the rest of the pregnancy, and worried about preterm labour.
Anyone had this and got any tips for managing this in pregnancy?
