Gallstone Attack uring Pregnancy

I'm a dad!: "For the first three or four days my wife was in really bad shape from the c-section, but she slowly got better after that, although constantly drousy from the painkillers. She started getting out of bed and even walking around a bit. Then at the sixth day the chest pains struck again with full force. The doctor did several checks and eventually found the cause. In an ultrasound they discovered a gallstone and an inflamed gallbladder. This was the missing piece of the puzzle. Now the symptoms started making sense. The chest pains, the vomiting, it all could be explained by the gallstone. And gallstones are, although very painful, completely harmless."
