I know exactly how you feel.  I had my gallbladder out 5/06.  I used to get terrible attacks and the doctors kept attributing them to acid reflux or heartburn, which I never have had.  I would be keeled over lying on the bathroom floor feeling like I was dying.  (like I had food poisoning).  Anyways, fatty foods can trigger an attack so try to avoid them.  I hope you do not have any more attacks during your pregnancy!  The surgery I had was called laproscopic & had an excellent surgeon.  After the surgery, they will put you on a low fat diet because fatty foods cause diahrrea after having the gallbladder removed.  Best of luck to you!!

Hey, Gallstones are very common (especially with pregnancy).  Once you've definately been diagnosed with gallstones, you should have your gallbladder taken out (it's called a cholecystectomy) ..after the baby is born.  It is very common, I see it every day.  My mom had it done.  If you don't have it out.. you can have repeat "attacks", your gallbladder can become inflamed, or a stone can get caught in the gallbladder neck or in the common bile duct.  So, just have it out after the baby comes.  No biggie!!
