21 weeks pregnant and dysfunctioning g.b.

[fawkes17]

I'm 21 weeks pregnant. I'm pretty sure I have a dysfunctioning gallbladder. My OB doesn't want to do surgery.
On ultra sound things look normal.(with my family history he agrees that's probably what it is)
Any way for the last five months I've been miserable.
I felt naseous and since I was pregnant I assumed it was morning sickness.
Christmas Eve I had a gallbladder attack. My whole rightside was in pain, and I couldn't move. My mom, and aunt experiencing this we were sure that's what it was. I took some tylenol and it dulled the pain. Christmas day i was still sore. The next days I had huge chestpains. Went to other doctor at the office. Explained my symptons. She was sure it was gallbladder. Had ultra sound adn blood test. Everything looked fine. no stones,sludge.
Right side constantly aches, front and back. And a few weeks ago by back hurt like I was in labor.
No matter what I eat I just feel sick. And my stomach acts like I don't have anything in it all the time. I can eat all day, and I feel hungry pretty much. Night it hurts like I have hunger pains.
Going outside or around the store wears me out, and makes me feel nasueated.
I don't want to have surgery because I am afraid what if it isn't neccasary, what if it will hurt my baby.

But I'm afraid this is going to get worse as my baby gets bigger. Possible infection, etc. Dealing with this for another 5 monts.
And I can't imagine having surgery after having a baby, can't nurse after your just establishing it. Not to mention I will have to take care of two children. It hurts to the touch, my whole stomach hurts.

My doctor pretty much just waiting for things to get worse I think, or me to run in crying and screaming how much pain I'm in before doing anything.
I honestly have a high pain tolerance, and when I was in labor with my first baby i only had a few tears. I don't think he understands just how bad I feel.
Any advice?

same thing happen to me pregnant with twins, it was terrible. I had to wait until after the birth for them te verify it was my gallbladder, it was removed when the twins were 5 months old.

Yay, they can't do the test, and have told me. I'm sure it wouldn't be good for the baby.
The doctor agrees with me he just hopes I can wait till after the baby gets here. About July 29th. I'm just so sick of feeling sick, but I feel horrible if something happened to my baby if I had surgery. But it scares me if I don't get it out asap what's going to happe.

It definitely sounds like gallbladder minus the pregnancy i had all the exact same symptoms, all my tests were normal except the HIDA scan, I dont think they can do that test on you while you're pregnant though, it checks for the function of gallbladder.
