Do some women have to get their gallbladders removed after having a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In medical school, they taught us the risk factors for gall stones are "fat, female, fertile, and forty." that said, some women have gall bladders removed before they have a baby, and many women never have their gall bladders removed.
