For the last month or so, I've been experiencing a sharp or dull (sometimes either) pain below my right ribs. I went to my Dr. who ordered an ultrasound for my gall bladder and suggested a bland fat-free (if possible) diet. Well, the pain comes and goes and it doesn't appear to be too affected by what I eat (though out of fear I have cut down on the fatty foods). Sometimes it begins to hurt even if I haven't eaten for a few hours, or following a pretty healthy meal like rice and steamed veggies or a bowl of fruit.
This morning I had the gallbladder ultrasound and the tech said she doesn't see stones, but she did see a buildup of "sludge" or really thick bile that might be the cause of the discomfort. Has anyone else experienced gall bladder problems during their pregnancy?
On a lighter note; the technician wandered down and let me have another peak at baby. It's feet were crossed at the ankles and baby gave us a thumbs up signal. It was so cute. We opted not to find out what we're having until it's born, so hence, "it."
