First off I would like to say that just after my frist trimester ended, I started having terrible rib pain. I mean on a scale from one to ten it was a ten plus. Well the first time it happend I was working and it lasted for about 2 hours and it didn't really hurt me too bad. But then the second time, which was three days ago it worke me up from a dead sleep and it lasted about an hour. Then this last(which was yesterday) time it happend at 12:45am which woke me up from a dead sleep again and I squarmed and wiggled and tried to find a comfertable way to lay needless to say I was finnally able to fall asleep around 2am. Then I woke up at 5:20am to get ready for work, still in a little bit of pain, well I get to work at 6:30am and the pain is slowly climing, finally at 7am I couldn't take it any more! I bursted into tears and asked to leave and go to the hospital. Well because I am pregnant they sent me strait to the labor and deleivery floor where they hooked me up to moneters to make sure that 1) I wasn't going into labor, 2) make sure that the baby was okay... well I wasn't contracting and they baby was fine. Well then it was on to finding out what was wrong with me. At 11am they took me to do an ultrasound on my gallbladded. Well they found out that I have gall stones... So I sat here for a little while longer... and talked to the on call OB and to the genral sergan, they both decied not to do sergary, NOT because I was "high risk" but because they don't want to put the baby in danger, which I understand compleatly, however, my OB also said that I am at the point where they still could do sergary electivly. But if i continue to have these attacks, then it will get infected and I will have to have it out any way, no matter how far along i am...
So in my eyes they should just have taken it out at this time... I have had two attacks in under a week, I have family history of gallbladder problmes, needless to say that most of my family has had their gallbladders out. *sigh* So I'm kind of worried about that, none the less the doctor put me on vikaden, which I'm not sure how safe it is durn pregnancy.
So my question is what would you do...
