Hello and welcome,
I completely understand your problem.
Please do not worry.
The gall stones are not an issue in this case as they are very common and are not related to the procedure. Everything depends upon how big the pregnancy is, what is the obstetric history of the patients [ does she have previous normal deliveries or cesarean sections] and how is the kidney function test and coagulation profile [ blood clotting tests] report.
If the reports are normal and she had previous normal deliveries then there is no need to operate as a trial of labor can be given [ if the pregnancy is big], if it is less than 12 weeks a small procedure called D and C is done.
It is better that she is in a well equipped hospital where there are facilities for blood transfusion and platelets as well as other blood products are available as she may have bleeding problems. So please discuss these with your doctors there and they will guide you through the procedure.
I am always here if there are any more queries. Take care and all my good wishes are with you.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
