 hey guys i could really ise some input here. now i know pregnancy comes with a lot of weird stomach pains but this one has me so confused. i get cramps and i'm fine with that. but lately i've been getting this weird pain on my right side like right under my rib area. it happened when i was adjusting my bra and i had my arms up adjusting my push up bra and i was like twisting. and i got this weird and disturbing pain. it felt like.....like muscle detaching from whatever muscle is attached to. i've never felt this before. its scary. how could it be pregnancy related when its in my upper stomach? the closest thing i can think of is the feeling i got after wls when my stomach muscles were all loose and it was painful to move. but its not the same. i can't even explain it. its like a radiating pain. almost like a shock. not super painful but just shocking and scary. 

i'm afraid it might be my gallbladder? has anyone had anything similar? is it just growing pains? should i be worried? it only happened when i would twist a little. and today when i was laying on my right side i felt it again. so weird.

I'm stumped... 

Is it happening after you eat?  If not, I'd say it is probably not your gallbladder.  Probably just a muscle getting tugged on by your growing uterus.  Pregnancy can do all kids of weird stuff!  Try to relax, and if it is still bothering you or gets worse, call your doc.  Happy "baking mother's" day!

 aww that was cute :) thank you!  you too!

well no i don't think it happens after i eat. i haven't noticed. its usually when i twist from side to side and it surely does feel like some weird muscle thing. but its just so bizarre. whenever i can get an apt with the new Ob i'll definitely tell them about it.

Hopefully its just a pulled muscle or something, but the location is exactly where your gallblader is... Weight loss can trigger a gallbladder to go bad, and so can pregnancy! I would talk to your doctor if it keeps hurting just to be safe.

Aww, I didn't mean to freak you out! I just went through a bad gallbladder last summer and had it removed last August. I had pain on and off in that area and a couple of really bad attacks that hurt through my back. Hopefully you just weren't super coordinated putting your clothes on and pulled a muscle ;)

 luckily it hasn't been that bad. nothing severe.. just shocking. its so hard to explain. i will definitely ask about it as soon as i see my ob. hopefully its not a gallbladder thing. it seems like a horrible thing to go through during pregnancy. since its such a painful recovery.

It could also be gas, it feels like it is in your ribs sometimes but when you move around it hurts, I get it frequently sometimes at the bottom of my uterus now that I am 7 months. It does hurt like hell.
Good Luck
