Summary

Today, I am talking with Dr. George Crawford, MD about how gallbladder issues and concerns can impact your pregnancy. Gallbladder removal is the second most common non-obstetrical operation that occurs during pregnancy. Knowing where your gallbladder is and what it does can help you distinguish between normal pregnancy nausea and vomiting and a gallbladder that has gone bad. We also dig into what to do before you get pregnant if you have had gallbladder issues in the past.

Dr. George Crawford is the founder and lead surgeon at The Crawford Clinic in Anniston, Alabama. In addition to running his multi-specialty clinic, Dr. Crawford sits on the board of trustees of the North East Regional Medical Center and volunteers through a mentorship program he created which allows high school students a practical, first-hand experience in medicine.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

What is the gallbladder, where is it, and what does it do
What is the difference between gallbladder disease and gallstones
What are the signs that you may be having an issue with your gallbladder
How common is gallbladder disease in pregnancy
How is gallbladder disease treated
How safe is gallbladder surgery during pregnancy
What can people expect after gallbladder surgery and how long does recovery take
What are the risks for gallbladder disease and how you can reduce those risks
