During my first pregnancy I was diagnosed with gallstones when I was 6 months along. It was horrible. I lost a lot of weight and I went into labour when I was just 36 weeks. Baby was weak and had reflux :cry:

I'm concerned now cause if I get pregnant again I surely don't want to go through all that again... I also suffer from RA but it wasn't a problem during my pregnancy.. It's the gallstones that worry me most. After I had my son I've had surgery to remove my gallbladder. I just want a happy healthy pregnancy next time ...
 
I had mine taken out before I got pregnant again. I was told it would be an issue again if I didn't get it taken care of first.
 
In general some risks naturally increase a small amount each pregnancy in part due to increased age, but for your specific gallstone issue yeah I believe it is more likely than not that you'd have a repeat incident if you hadn't had your gall bladder removed.
