Gallbladder

So, I already know I need to have my gallbladder removed, but I *haven't had an attack since I got preggers*. Not serious ones anyways, little discomfort, but if i drink lots of water it goes away. Well last night I had that same kind of sensation right under my right breast....up higher than normal, but I thought maybe because I am pregnant the uterus is pushing up my gall bladder??? Any one know if that happens?  It was quite uncomfortable (and at work ), but I drank my water and it went away .  Thanks for any info.

The best way I know to avoid GB attacks is to avoid high-fat foods and to eat very small meals throughout the day.  It is possible that your uterus is pushing everything up and putting more pressure on your GB, but the hormones during pregnancy can irritate/increase gallstones as well.  

That is exactly where I feel my discomfort/pain. When they did the U/S to check if I had stones that is also where they looked. The night I had my attack I was very dehydrated as well.

My fiance just had her GB removed last Thursday.  I get that you probably don't want to have surgery now to remove yours.  So lotsa water and low-fat foods.  Also make sure that you're getting plenty of fiber in your diet... like add metamucil or something like that.

Good luck with the rest of your pg and I hope that you don't get anymore attacks while ur pg.

 Thanks ladies :) I find that if i'm stressed out I get them as well, I have been eating pretty good and such, but the sleep deprivation with working nights is killing me. I hope i don't have any more either lol
