Gallbladder pain or foot in the ribs... during pregnancy?

Question

I am very pregnant and have a constant pain in the lower section of my right ribs... a foot maybe! but I also have had severe heart burn, loss of appetite and some weight loss.. any ideas or anyone have gallstones?

Answer 1

MY GALLSTONES FELT LIKE I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK. I GOT REALLY HOT THEN COLD, SHAKY, CLAMMY, THOUGHT I WOULD DIE FROM THE PAIN...AS SOON AS YOU PASS THE STONE THE PAIN GOES AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME...SO MAYBE YOU HAVE LITTLE FOOT IN RIBS...OR SOMETHING ELSE...CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR...JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.

Answer 2

I had a foot in the ribs for almost 2 months when pregnant with my first child. I even went to the hospital with it once. It is very painful and hard to breathe. Gallstones will usually come on after having a greasy meal like fries or (in my case fried zucchini). You might try shifting the baby, but they get the idea that this is their house and will put their stuff where they want. Stay away from fried foods and take mylanta when the heartburn gets bad. I feel for you. Blessings on your little kicker.

Answer 3

Symptoms(of a gallbladder attack) may include one or more of the following: chest pain in the right side (caused by stones in the bile duct or inflammation or swelling of the gallbladder itself). Nausea or queasiness, vomiting and gas are frequent. There may or may not be belching or burping. The gall bladder, which sits just below the rib cage to the right of the stomach, is very tender to touch. It can be so painful that it takes your breath away.
You may not be able to walk without bending over. Sometimes the pain radiates through to the back shoulder blade on the right side or in the middle between the shoulder blades. This is pain from the gallbladder being referred to the back of the shoulder. This back shoulder blade chest pain is one of the most common yet unknown symptoms of a gallbladder disorder. This can come and go or be constant. It may be sharp, excruciating or dull. It may also occur especially at night.

An gallbladder attack will typically last for one to four hours.


Good Luck~

Having had my gall bladder out I can tell you these are some of the symptoms of gall stones, having had a baby I can also tell you they are symptoms of advanced pregnancy. If the symptoms persist after bub is born get you doctor to do an ultrasound to check for stones. Good luck!!
