Scared to Eat_just left the ER

I am 30 weeks and woke up in excruciating pain at 2am. I started screaming and fell to my knees. I told my fiancé to take me to the hospital. I realized I couldn't walk and told him to call 911.  I was screaming in agony during the whole process from the time I woke to the drive to the hospital. Through my checkup and labor delivery check then my transfer to the Er. After an ultrasound to check the baby it was found that I have gallstones. They had to give me pain meds to stabilize my pain. This is the worst pain i've ever felt and i've dealt with labor before with my son. I couldn't breathe or walk. They don't want to do any surgery to after the baby so they prescribed percocets and said only use it when im in pain.  but im so scared to eat because so many foods can spark an attack. So I haven't eaten anything since last night. Im terrified.

My surgery left me with four tiny scars on my tummy, but I had to have my kidney stones removed first, through my mouth, they put me to sleep for it, and put a camera down there and were able to drop them down. Then the second day I had my gallbladder removed. I couldn't stand up straight for awhile cuz the pain was so bad. So if you find a remedy that helps you with out surgery I suggest you try every avenue!

Thanks ladies this is Sooooo hard. I am starving and being pregnant and having so many cravings. I ate a banana but I am still do hungry. I've never had any health issues like this before and it scared me. I woke up so suddenly and fell to my hands and knees I don't want that feeling again. I have pain but im,scared of them not working quick enough if I have an attack. I don't want to have surgery if its not necessary. I don't even want a c section..So I am going to google the cleansing recipe also.

I would highly reccomend after the baby is.born to do a gallbladder cleanse rather than have them do a costly surgery (not to mention a 3 inch scar). You can google the recipe online. Its a 4 day cleanse using apple juice, water, and olive oil. I know once my little baby.comes out im going to do it.soon after she arrives just because ive been trying to eat healthy but I do break the rules sometimes. If you do decide to get it removed, they usually take your appendix out too. I feel like its just an unnecessary surgery when you can do it more organically and it only costs you a.few bucks and you dont have to miss work.

Stick to the BRAT diet for a while and slowly add in other items.  My cousin had the same problem later in her pregnancy and about a month postpartum she had hers removed.

I had that when I was pregnant before too, but had no idea until she was 3 months old. Stay away from anything greasy.

Thanx im going to go eat a banana and oatmeal. Is it okay to add sugar? I have been such s picky water with this pregnancy fish and steak is the only meat i've been eating. The doctor said that the cut of steak I had last night could have sparked the attack but it was bound to happen anyway. I love chicken but my little girl doesn't everytime I cook it and try to eat it I feel like I have to throw up

Eat bland food. You need to eat, not eating isn't good for you or baby. And food in your stomach is good when you take pain killers. Try rice, turkey, bananas, crackers, applesauce, ramen noodles (just don't add all or a lot of seasoning.), plain chicken... Etc. Hope you feel better!
