Lately i have been having there really severe attacks of what feels like wind trapped under my ribs, the pain is like a band around my shoulder blades, and it gets so bad that i end up throwing up.
I have done some research and it all points towards gallstones, and as the attacks are getting more frequent and lasting between 1-5 hours i am starting to get worried. . 
I have already spoken to one doctor who has said they can do nothing while im pregnant, but man i can not keep going through this, i am so worried its affecting my baby. 
I see the midwife on friday and i have made notes of all the attacks (she has been away for the past month), what i am wondering is if anyone else has gone through this and if so what they did to help ease the pain.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

im sure someone on here has had problem with gallstones.
You really just have to watch your intake of fatty foods or keep a food diary and see if the attack is always after a certain food. (thats if it is gallstones). IMO i would go to see another doctor because it sounds like its a real concern for you and that you have just been fobbed off. There are checks and blood tests that can be done. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

sounds like what i went though with my gallstones. ow!
it gets pretty nasty. i have heard that gallstones are common in pregnant women, i had mine when i was 18 fit and healthy (without greasy food diet! dont know how!) and it still flares up every now and then. i sympathise with you. like angelnz said just keep an eye on fatty foods and i would also do the diary thing to see if certain foods bring on an attack. take it easy.... and talk to another doc if you have any worries. |

yeah it just seems to come from no where, i am making another appointment to see a doctor on tuesday, as after talking to the midwife she confirmed that it wasnt baby and that it sounded like either gallstones or a bowel adhesion, neither of which i want. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

well, im sorry you have to go through it, i hope that there is something that you can do to get rid of the pain at least while you are still pregnant.
