My opinion is to undergo laproscopic Cholecystectomy before planned pregnancy as this can lead to pain and discomfort during pregnancy. Also can lead to multiple complications of gall stones like pancreatitis, pyocele, etc

I totally agree with Dr. Narendra since it’s yr first child at age of 35. U shouldn’t keep any triggering factors which can endanger the pregnancy.
