A member asked:

Having gallstones in my gallbladder and being pregnant will that affect the baby?

Dr. Mark Hoepfner answered

No: Gallstones in the mother would have no direct affect on a fetus during pregnancy. But be careful to avoid large or fatty foods that could cause you to experience gallstone pain and nausea or vomiting. Your ob/gyn doctor can review any concerns with you.
