Hi Sorry for your condition during these tough times. The only definitive treatment for gall stones is surgery- Cholecystectomy. But provided she is pregnant, it's risky to baby because of general anaesthesia. So need to be watchful til delivery of baby. Alarming symptoms which needs definitive intervention include- severe upper abdominal.pain, fever, jaundice, itching.If these happen, she.may need admission
Next Steps
Watchful for symptoms
