My gall stone/bladder attacks were worse. I had to have my gall bladder removed due to it being FULL of stones.... after 3 years of agony with Dr's trying to convince me it was heartburn before having an ultrasound done & finding out the truth!

I have also been suffering similar attacks recently... almost exactly the same actually but not sure what it is due to my gall bladder already having been removed LOL

I agree that childbirth is a different kind of pain... one that many woman around the world keep coming back for!! (so it cant be all that bad hey!)

Good luck & please dont get yourself all worked up thinking about the "pain" of childbirth.... its a beautiful experience, try to relax as much as possible & enjoy bringing your new baby into the world, we are very privalidged (sp?) to be able to do so!
