Gallbladder Surgery




Thursday August 4th I had gallbladder surgery. during my 20th week of pregnancy. I can't believe that it's been 4 days since my surgery. I'm feeling much better but not 100% yet. I'm just glad that everything went ok, I wasn't really worried about me i was worried about the little one i'm carrying in my belly. Everyone kept telling me that there is nothing they can do if something happened, but nothing happened, she's doing great. kicking up a storm. My surgery only lasted about 15 or 20 mins. they were worried about the anesthesia causing me to go into preterm labor. what was interesting was that in all my internet searches to find out about this surgery I read that usually the baby also goes to sleep during the anesthesia, but during the surgery Dr. Lowe said that they could see her moving. my little fighter. He took a picture of my gallbladder as well as my uterus. they are really gross, but still you kind of have to look. I haven't really enjoyed this pregnancy b/c i was so afraid that i would lose her at any moment. so now that i've got the surgery behind me I'm looking forward to enjoying next 19 weeks. I feel like i can finally be excited about this little one. now if only vic and i can agree on a name, that would be great.
