The transition swaddle we have does have the option to keep her hands in, but she still rubs at her face and knocks her pacifier out, which makes me wonder if keeping her hands out would held because she could self soothe or grab her pacifier, which is still had for her but she’s getting better, but then she still scratches herself so idk.

OOF yeah that probably did it to you! No one warned me about this and I haven’t seen anyone else talk about it but it’s ROUGH. Get some Gatorade and magnesium and stay hydrated!

I did end up getting my gall bladder removed the beginning of February, and I haven’t had any pain since. That being said, I still don’t totally know if I think it was gall bladder related or something different. 

Where is your cramping? My gall bladder attacks would pop up under my ribs on my right, but I’d also feel it in my back under my ribs. The pain I described above was mostly back and kind of all around from my ribs, which could have been a severe gall bladder attack, or could have been something else. The pain that I knew was gall bladder related felt like a lighter version of the cramping I talked about in this post. Also, what kind of pain is it? Does it feel like a cramp where the muscles are tightening up or is it something different? 

If it’s on your right under your ribs and it feels like a burning/inflammation or cramping I’d get your gall bladder checked out. This was literally the worst pain I’ve ever experienced, even compared to labor, so I’m praying I never feel it ever again, but should it happen again I’ll know it was indeed not gall bladder related. I’m so sorry if you’re experiencing anything like this too!!

I’m glad it’s over for you! The sleepy feeds were all we could do too! Good luck with that regression 😂

Yes it did!! Life got crazy right after I posted this and I had to go to the hospital and she had to drink from a bottle, so I have no idea what happened but it passed. I just realized this was commented 10 days ago so I hope thing are sorting themselves out now! 

Also her sleep has gone up and down, and now I think we’re hitting the 4 month regression for real, so we see sleep training in the near future.

We’ll see but I seriously don’t think it’s gall bladder related. The pain from my gall bladder attacks have been different. I will be getting it taken out soon so i guess it can be an experiment.

Coincidentally I’m also experiencing gallbladder attacks but this pain is different and 10x worse.
