sharp pain in right side

For the last couple of hours I have had this really sharp pain on and off.  It's on the right side of my abdomen.  If I lay still, it's ok but if I move it really hurts.  Also if I push on it a bit it hurts also.  Any ideas what it could be?

exactly where is the pain? just saying the 'right' side is pretty open...

It's just to the left of my hip bone.

Have you had a sonogram yet? It could be a cyst on your ovary, which is pretty common early in pregnancy. Mine was 6 cm, I have to go back in a month to see if it dissolved. If it gets big, it can cause pain.

No I have no had a sonogram yet. I am getting my first one on Thursday.

 I had that same issue in the beginning of my pregnancy and still do. But my pain was on the left side and sometimes on both sides. My Ob told me its the uterus stretching!!! Weclome to the joys of pregnancy Cass!!! 

Is it on the right side right up under the ribs?  If so, it could be your gall bladder....?  If it continues or gets too bad, call your dr and have them check you out.

Luckily my gallbladder was taken out when I had my rny, so that's not it. If it gets worse I will call the dr but otherwise I will just wait until Thursday when I have my sonogram.

Thank you for answering my question, too. I have a really bad pain, just under the ribcage on the right side, and I guess not only does pregnancy cause gall bladder problems, but we as WLS patients are already kind of predisposed to it. I'm 5w5d, and have noticed this ever since about the time I got my positive. It just gets worse and worse. Off to call the doctor.

Again, thanks!

Yep...I've heard RNY can trigger the gall bladder problems too.  I had mine out years before WLS - mine kicked in and started acting up immediately after my son was born.  The pain comes on very suddenly and is very intense.  I didn't know what the hell it was when mine acted up - I was only a week or so out of delivery and thought it was just a left over from delivery.  Took Advil until it knocked me out several hours later, then would wake up and it would be gone until the next round. 

I know they said that spicy foods or fatty foods can make it act up more...so w/you being pregnant, they will likely want to put off surgery to remove it until after you deliver your baby and try to control it w/diet.  Obviously they avoid as many surgeries as they possibly can while you're pregnant.  I do know there is at least 1-2 women here who had their gallbladder removed while pregnant, but it was an emergency surgery because it was very bad and not going away.

If it is that and they can get it under control, don't worry yourself unnecessarily about the surgery for the gallbladder - it's usually laproscopic and doesn't have a long recovery time.

Good luck w/your appt.  I believe an u/s will confirm whether or not that's what it is.
