Worried.....TMI! bad intestinal pain! please help!

[TinyTina28]

Im currently 35 weeks 4 days pregnant. For the past day and half i have had really bad pain in my upper belly. Like my intestines get really hard and they burn. I get nauseated and then have lose stools.  My lose stools now have a lot of white mucus in them. i also believe i may be dehydrated.  Sometimes the pain hurts so bad! I also have gestational diabetes but diet controlled. Numbers are great. Please help! May call doctor in the morning.

Do u still have your gallbladder?

[TinyTina28]

Yes i do.

It could possibly be a gallbladder attack. With my first pregnancy I ended up with gallstones right at the very end and it's really common for pregnant women.  The pain would be at the very top of my belly. It would hurt so bad I would get nauseous and it felt like it burned too. I ended up having mine removed 2 months after having my daughter. Talk to your Dr and see if this could be the cause. If it is I would have it removed very soon after baby arrives cause the attacks come and go. Hope this helps. Let me know if you find out the source of your problem. Good luck to you.
