Kirsty - I had it 4 weeks after birth (apparently I'd probably had mild attacks during pregnancy too but thought it was just bubby belting the living hell out of my ribs and winding me) and the pain I had that night I fully sympathise with you having to wait another 8 weeks. For the week I waited until mine was removed I did a no fat diet not even low fat as I was sure I could not handle another attack of the intensity of the main one I had - I managed to go the week on rice noodles, plain veges, fruit etc, pita bread style (I think), no milk - basically anything that had almost 0 fat was in anything else was out as I lived in fear but I knew I only had to last a week and wasn't carrying a baby (although was trying to breastfeed). I don't know how good it would be for you or the baby to go as extreme as I did though. Hope it eases up for you and you can find a balance.
