Medication

I'm 14 weeks pregnant. Second baby. Iv had alot of gallbladder attacks at least 3 a week. They can't take it out apparently so I'm stuck suffering until I have the baby. The doctors give me morphine and gravol. Has any other moms gone thru this and is everything okay with the baby? I'm so scared

I went through that with my first it's a pain, but you can learn to control it when you figure out what's causing it that your eating.

I have had the worst gallbladder attacks!!! I'm 33 +3 and it has not been easy. Pain meds dont help me and no matter what or when I eat it causes attacks. My OB sent me to a gastrointestinal doc who prescribed me some meds that help with acid reflux, and they have seemed to regulate the gallbladder bile better (I suppose). I still get bad attacks (7+ hours) maybe once a week now as opposed to 3 or 4 and little 30 minute attacks here and there.  I would suggest getting referred to a GI because she said you're able to have surgery through the 2nd trimester. Or at least get some good meds. Then the GI doc sent me to a surgeon and I'm getting it out as soon as baby arrives. Baby isn't having any trouble but maybe uncomfortable when those attacks are happening. Hope this helped, good luck :)

My cousin had issues with her gallbladder when she was pregnant. She had it taken out a couple weeks after her baby was born. Her baby was fine.
