Gallstones?!?

So I had been having "heartburn" throughout most of my pregnancy, but didn't think too much of it, every pregnant lady complains of heartburn, right? I told my doctor and she confirmed it was pretty typical and told me to take some Tums. Well, it continued to get worse and I started waking up in the middle of the night with horrible heart pains. I even threw up once but again blamed it on the pregnancy (even though I hadn't been having that serious of nauseousness). When it became completely unbearable, I called my doctor again, who recommended I head to urgent care. The doctor there immediately suspected gallstones when I told her my symptoms, and confirmed it with an ultrasound. When I was getting the ultrasound I tried to talk the technician into checking on the baby, but no dice ;-) After meeting with a surgeon, we agreed to control the gallstones with diet until after the baby was born. After a few very painful days on a liquid diet, they calmed down and it became very easy to follow a healthy diet, the thought of the pain I'd be in otherwise kept me to salads, skinless chicken breasts, and pasta with fat free sauce. Little did I know it was going to help Jonah grow big and strong so he was bigger than some term babies when he arrived 6 weeks early!
