I had preeclampsia in my first pregnancy. Unfortunately the day I was diagnosed was the day I delivered (34 wk, emergency c-section). A while before that day I had pain in my upper right side. It came and went and then started getting worse, until I couldn't stand it anymore. My doctor at the time told me it was the way the baby was laying, then when it got worse they had my gullbadder checked (which ended being only hours before they diagnosed me and flew me to a bigger hospital). That was five years ago and the both of us are fine now but almost didn't make it.

Question:
1)Can upper right side pain be the first symptom without high bp or urine or headaches?
2) How long can you have it until the other symptoms show?
3) What causes the pain?

I am pregnant again and am 26wk and the pain in my side in coming back (its there every day now--but not unbarrable and not all day). I told my doctor but he says it's just indigestion (this was over the phone). What should I do?
