Rib pain, gallbladder complications or liver?

[Lolpigs]

It might be related to your gallbladder and liver, I had my gall bladder out before I got pregnant, but I used to get "phantom" gall bladder attack symptoms. It might be this? I would ask just for peace of mind. Apple Juice generally tends to help me when my liver is acting up, as its cleansing. Hope you feel better soon.

Gah I read this yesterday and thought I'd replied....sorry bout that.
Did it get bad enough for you to ring? Hope not.

To rule it out they'd need to do bloods and a scan.

For me right sided pain always = liver, but that's every time I'm pregnant due to past complications. Your body could just be stretching funny too. There might be a foot pressed somewhere uncomfortable.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

I got this really badly with my pregnancy with DS and now to a lesser extent with this one. My OB had a quick scan of my gall bladder when I was there and he said it looked fine. I also had broken a nearby rib about six months before getting pregnant so thought it may have been that, but it felt more muscle/flesh than bone.

I have heard it is one of those weird pains that a lot of women get during pregnancy for no particular reason. Miraculously it disappeared the moment I had DS.

I'm not saying don't get it checked out, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they can't find anything. It's one of those very annoying things... for me anyway!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I really appreciate it. Jolly google had me convinced I was dying of liver failure! LOL.

So the midwife said that it was probably scar tissue from where I had my gallbladder out that is stretching which causes the pain. Interesting!

Glad you got a diagnosis. I had that for a few months after my operation. If it dosent clear or gets worse they told me they need to operate again to fix it. Hope you feel better soon.
