I had gallstones before pregnancy and now sometimes get pain after oily food. I am worried it may create problem later. Has anyone managed gallstones while pregnant?
Gallstones can cause pain and sometimes flare up in pregnancy because of the hormones. I had gallbladder issues and my doctors kept a close watch. Please dont ignore severe pain on the right side or after fatty food, get it checked promptly.
It can, mainly with pain and digestion issues. A friend of mine had stones and managed fine with a low fat diet and close follow ups. Keep ur doctor informed and dont skip scans.
They can affect comfort and sometimes need extra monitoring, but having gallstones doesnt automatically mean a problem pregnancy. The key is regular checkups so ur doctor can step in if needed. Definitely flag it at ur next visit.
Eating very oily food made gallbladder trouble worse for someone in my family during pregnancy. Keeping the diet light and balanced helps a lot. But pain that wont settle should be shown to the doctor without delay.
My gynac said pregnancy hormones can make gallstones more likely or more active, but many women manage with diet and monitoring. Surgery is usually avoided unless really needed. Best to have ur doctor track it through the pregnancy.
