To me, by far the worse pain i have ever had!!  I didnt have them during pregnancy though. Definately feela like your having a heart attack. I Agree with KDQ.

Gallbladder issues are common in pregnancy. I've had 6 attacks through out my pregnancy the latest was last night. I've gone to the hospital for two of the attacks and had to take morphine. It ***** but my baby is more important to me then risking surgary. I have to have it out after giving birth. Research the safe foods. I do find it weird that your doctor gave you that diagnoses based on back pain though. Gallbladder pain starts above the ribcage, just below your breasts and can radiate up into the shoulders and into your back. The pain is simular to a heart attack and if you have an attack bad enough hurts worse than child birth. Ask your doctor to do an ultrasound to check for gallstones. You do not want to have an attack trust me. A diet is a small sacrafice if you knew the pain.
