[|Human|] My daughter is 4 months pregnant. Baby due Feb 15. She just called me and she is having some sharp pains uncomfortable pains more on the left side. She is uncomfortable. Is it possible this is her gallbladder and is there really anything they can do. She told me that she called her drs. office Thursday or Friday and they said it was possibly a stomach virus. She is crying and when she tries to lay down she gets nauseated. Should she go to emergency room or wait until morning to call dr. office. She has a 2 year old at home and her husband is a fireman and he is on his 24 hrs. at the station.
[|AI|]  Hello, and I hope I can help you today. It is doubtful that your daughters symptoms are due to a gallbladder problem, since the gallbladder is on the right side of the upper abdomen, and usually the gallbladder only feels pain after eating.However, there are many other causes of left abdominal pain, such as gastritis, a stomach flu, kidney stones... And if it is lower abdominal pain, it can be related to the uterus or ovaries.  Her anxiety about the situation probably is also contributing to the problem. So if your daughter is in so much distress she should call her doctor.  There is someone on duty for emergencies even at night for most OB practices.  Her doctor can make a recommendation of whether to go to the emergency room or come in for a doctor's appointment. Either way, as this problem has been going on for a few days, she absolutely should be seen by a doctor soon to make a diagnosis. I hope this answer and my advice was helpful. Best wishes to your daughter for the rest of her pregnancy,
