What Causes Gallbladder Pain During Pregnancy?
hi i am currently 35 weeks pregnant and have been in and out of the hospital since 24 weeks for pre term labor caused by my gall stones and attacks . they wont do surgery until after i deliver the baby but i have been having attacks multiple times a week and have changed diet drastically and it hasn t helped . do you think this is a reason for induction between 37-38 weeks ?

hi if it is causing you so much discomfort ideally you should be induced at 38 weeks once the baby reaches pulmonary maturity. because repeated attacks of gall bladder pain are not good for you .it can cause obstructive jaundice. so best is to induce labour by 38 weeks . take care and all the best . avoid oily spicy and non veg food.
