QuestionI am 33 - 32 weeks pregnant; with my first child born in 07 I had gallbladder issues after she was born that cleared up with diet; with my second child I had gallbladder issues from around 18 weeks until 32ish (can't really remember) but I do remember having a lot of pain around 20 weeks which was Christmas hurt between my breasts and then under my right breast - it would radiate and be excuriating if I had to lie down- I never had an u/s b/c I didn't want to have surgery while pregnant. It eventually went away.
This preg. I had the same pain under my breast for a hot second in my second trimester but there was an added component - I would eat something fatty and about 4-6 hours later I would have nausea (make myself throw up usually bile) and then diarhea and it would be gone.
They wanted an u/s I said I'd try and change my diet which I have and no more issues (except if I have that piece of cake I'm craving).
Well today my mom read an article about a girl who has a tumor on her pancreas or liver during pregnancy and had pain like mine so they did all the tests and found it. Now she's freaking me out about not being checked.
1. SHould I have an u/s when I don't have any pain?
2. Could there be a tumor that caused my inital pain that suddenly stopped giving me symptoms?
What should I do?
Answerthe tumor is very very unlikely.... if you have gallstones already, symptoms are probably a recurrence but you still do have symptoms... the throwing up, etc, so I would get it evaluated and stop putting it off when it subsides..... then you will be rid of it forever.
