feeling the gallbladder spasm??

Hi,
I found out just after Christmas that I have gallstones. I am also 29 weeks pregnant. My question is have any of you with gallbladder problems ever felt your gallbladder spasm? I am asking because a few times I have felt a fluttering sensation (sometimes with a bit of pain, but not like a gallbladder attack) just under my right rib. My OB said it could be the baby kicking, but it is usually such a rapid and repeated fluttering and then stops. Its hard to tell cause sometimes it happens when he is being active, but other times it happens without other movements going on and that is why I am wondering if it could be that I am feeling my gallbladder.

I never felt my gallbladder spasming, before it was removed, but am not sure that it cannot happen. I wasn't blessed with children, so I can't tell you if there'd be a difference in what you are feeling. It is possible that you are more focused and are trying to differentiate the sensations, but more than likely it is the baby moving.
Here is some information that you might find helpful...

<It could be gas? Your colon/large intestine runs up the right side of your body, across the top of your abdomen and then down the left side. It could be spasms in your colon, or gas. Just a thought.

We could both be wrong:) But, I don't think so...
Anyway...
