hey everyone
so it's been a long time since ive been here...i was diagnosed with ic in 2007 and suffered for a year of intense flares. I seemed to get everything under control with elavil and hydroxyzine which i took until 2010. I have been pretty much symptom free since 2009. I actually thought that this was in my past. I didnt watch what I ate or anything, as fast as it came it seemed to disappear. Well now I am 10 weeks pregnant and back where I started. Around 5 weeks I felt the frequency coming back followed by the pain. I thought at first maybe it was just pressure from growing uterus but one doesn't forget the pain of IC. I feel like its worse than I remember. I have to use the bathroom every 10 mins and night time is horrible.. over 25x a night it's impossible to sleep. I can baely stand or walk, it feels like my bladder is about to fall out. Ive tried taking prelief with food and am back on IC diet. The obgyn is of no help and she said a uro wont do anything because im pregnant. my husband and I have been waiting for this baby and now this has made me miserable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
