Baby or Me, Gull Bladder Surgery?

I was diagnosed with gall bladder disease at 8 weeks pregnant. I had gallstones, inflammation, and a mive infection. I've been on the restricted diet since then. I've still had about 6 attacks since then but I wanted my baby and not the surgery. I can't tell you what to do and I can't compare our experiences but I'm now 38 weeks so I've been doing the restricted diet for 30 weeks and you would only have to do it for 13. Not to mention the diet helped me limit my pregnancy weight gain to only 16lbs. Don't get me wrong at every single attack I wanted to get my gallbladder out but I looked at it as practice for labor and practiced breathing through the pain and mind over matter relaxation techniques. I know it's hard but you can make it to the end if you're supremely motivated. Congratulations on your pregnancy and good luck!
