kerry im thinking this too, i have had this pain since monday, i went to the hospital monday night and they said i had a kidney infection and put me on keflex and sent me home. but this pain never went away although it has eased a little and then flared up again today. I took TWO darvocets this afternoon and it did nothing to help, it hurts soooo bad it takes my breath away.

I don't think i have a fever but i feel feverish if that makes sense. I called the OB and asked for the nurse to call me, but im not waiting that long. I called dh at work and he is coming home to take me back to the hospital. I have barely eaten today because i have no apetite, and it hurts to take a deep breath. Im worried. if it is gallbladder related what will they do?

Im on prevacid for heartburn that i was having earlier in the pregnancy and last night i barely slept because i kept waking up throwing up accid in my mouth. nothing is helping. could it just be reflux or GERD or something. I am afraid. will this affect the baby? I am 37 weeks/.

My aunt had gallbladder issues when she was pregnant. The baby was positioned in way that caused the gallbladder to spasm. When the baby was out, the problems went away.

[KerryS]

if it is gallbladder related what will they do?

THey may do an abdominal U/S but they cannot do any more invasive diagnostic testing due to the pregnancy. Normally they would do a CT with contrast, which is contraindicated during pregnancy.

THey may also give you morphine, which in addition to controlling the pain, also relaxes smooth muscles, which helps with spasms.

[babymakes4]

thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Good news is baby is doing beautifully. Bad news is I have just been diagnosed with GERD. Im not exactly sure what that is, but I am about to do some research. The pain is a little better with a new medication they gave me, and I am finally up to eating something little, Its 9pm and I haven't eaten since yesterday. Hopefully i can get something in me and maybe get a little sleep.

Thanks for thinking of us. Im off to rest. :)

[Nipple_nectar]

I am glad to hear mostly all is well. If you saw a picture of what your organs look like right now, all crunched up in a tiny area, it's a wonder anything works at all!

Try to get some rest, you don't have long now {{{hugs}}}

[CatEyes]

:hug: I hope all goes well!

[KatieLou]

I am glad everything is ok.

I had GERD when I was pregnant with dd2. It totally sucked. I hope they find some meds that work for you. Good news is that it was something that cleared up immediately after birth... Within hours after giving birth, I actually felt *better* because the GERD went away.

I'm glad it's not anything more serious.

[Earthmama]

So glad it's nothing threatening.
Wishing you comfort.

[jodyvo]

I am glad it is not more serious. I do have to say that the pain concerns me a little bit. Have they checked your liver function? It is a simple blodd test. It sounded a little like upper right quadrant pain to me. I am probably wrong but I had a very rare liver malfucntion the 3rd trimester in my first pregnancy and I also had a problem with the heartburn much like you are discribing. I also have insatiable thrist, major nausea and general feeling of crumminess.
I am just throwing this out there because I wish someone brought it to my attention.
Good luck and keep us posted

Feel better!

[carterandcalliesmom]

How are ya feeling today?

[babymakes4]

How are ya feeling today?


I am feeling a little better today. The medication is helping I think. I still don't have much of an appetite though, and I can't figure out if it's because I am afraid to eat or just because I don't feel that good. Im going to try to get some lunch in me and maybe get Owen to have a nap so I can rest a little. This on top of the kidney infection is wearing me out. I am actually looking forward to seeing the OB on monday.


How about you? How are you feeling?

Glad you are feeling somewhat better and I hope you can get some rest! I was supposed to go to my apt today, but I rescheduled - the roads are really bad and my kids have just been awful today :( I haven't slept much in so long I think it caught up to me and I feel like I have been hit by a dump truck - good news is my SIL is taking the kids overnight tomorrow - I am so lucky to have her - she is the only one that helps me out :) Well, enough about me, hope you continue to feel better!

[3girls2luv]

I'm glad to hear that the baby is ok, I hope you continue to feel better soon. Just eat small bland meals for now.
