Hi Lindie,

I totally feel for you. When I was pg with Nicholas I suffered from a severe attack of gall stones in my 3rd tri (although I didn't know it at the time it was them) I found putting a wheat bag on my stomach where the pain was helped a little, also I just took some panadiene to help with the pain and rested until it eased up. After I gave birth to Nicholas I suffered from them again, I tried a natural way of getting rid of them with lemon juice and olive oil and that seemed to work. Well that was until I got pg with ~Matthew~ when they flared up again when I was 9 weeks pg, I ended up having to have my whole gall bladder removed as it was extremely inflamed. Ideally they said it would've been better to have the operation done when I was further along (at least 12 weeks pg) due to the high risk of m/c s early on..... Sorry for the long story.

Apparently it is quite common for people to get gall stones while pg and yes they can flare up again with subsequent pregnancies. If you can hold out until bubs is born, then that would probably be better and maybe see how you go and if they flare up after you have had bubs, then maybe look at getting the stones removed.

I am sorry I am not a lot of help. I hope they don't flare up on you again and the rest of your pregnancy ges smoothly and pain free.
