*head desk*
I should have known to expect this. I was hoping to avoid going through this all over again with this pregnancy, but I guess I'm not so lucky.
What is 'this,' you ask? Gallbladder attacks. Yes. Welcome to my hell.
I had my second gallbladder attack this pregnancy at 2:00 am this morning. I was up, trying to no avail to alleviate the pain for about an hour before I finally got so tired that I conked out again.
I had gallbladder attacks when I was pregnant with Ladybug and they are tortuous. The pain is intense with no way find relief. It's in describable.
In fact, last time around, the pain with each attack was so bad it made me doubt my ability to cope with the pain of labor (we had a planned natural birth with Ladybug). More than once, Hubs would just have to rub my back while I sobbed, the pain was so unbearable.
So, I guess here's hoping that either the attacks won't be as bad this time around or that my pain tolerance has increased... or that I just don't have any more for the rest of my pregnancy. That would work for me just fine.
Oh, and by the way, I handled the pain of labor just fine, thank you very much. ^_^

Oh no honey! Do you have stones or does your gallbladder just get irritated? Here is praying that you get some relief ASAP! Big hugs!
I think it just gets irritated when I'm pregnant. Last time, as soon as I delivered Ladybug, the attacks went away. Thanks for hugs! I certainly need 'em when it comes to this!
