5 months along and in pain!

[red4me]

I have had IC for 6 years now. I got it after having a C-section with my son who is now 6. I am pregnant with our second child, and for the first 5 months I have had no symptoms at all. As soon as I hit 20 weeks, my pain has come back stronger than ever.

It was nice for the first 5 months to be able to eat fruits and not have them bother me. I stopped eating as much fruit about a month ago, but now, with all this pain, I dont know what to do.

I have not been on pain meds for the pregnancy, althought I am still on the Elmiron with my doctor;s permission.

Any ideas as to how to help this pain? The thought of having this daily for the next few months is dreadful.

Thanks.

OH Dyana so sorry for the pain...congrats on the wonderful preganacy. My pain would come and go so thankfully I wasn't having to deal with it on a daily basis. When I was in pain I would do as little as possible and sit with my corn pillow. Drink lots of water so when I did go to the bathroom I actually went yet the burning was there. Sorry not much help hoepfully someone else has a great idea.
