I'm 15 weeks pregnant and just had my gall bladder removed
I Went under the knife on tuesday feb.22 to have my gall bladder taken out. On that day I was 14 weeks and 5 days. They had to put me under as they would any body else getting surgery, with anesthetic. I was nervous that it would hurt my baby, but they reassured me that it wouldn't as long as I was in the 2nd trimester. they ended up having to cut me in four places on my stomach to get my gall bladder out (before hand they said they could just go thru my belly button). So needless to say, I was quite concerned when I woke up to four cuts instead of only one. after waking I asked them to check the babys heart beat... It took them 15 minutes to find it. Oh I was crying and praying like crazy, my gown was soaked from all the tears. At this stage in pregnancy it normally only takes maybe a minute at most to find the heart beat, so as you can imagine, at 15 minutes you know what I was thinking. But then finally you could faintly hear the little fast paced heart beat on the monitor, oh it was such a relief! But now here I am three days later after pain medication and alot of rest wondering if the baby is still okay. I don't have an ob appt for two more weeks, and I just want to hear my babys heart beat so I know everything is okay! has anyone else had their gall bladder removed during pregnancy? Or know anyone who has?
