Bladder Spasms, or is someone kicking my insides?
Can someone tell me what a bladder spasm feels like? sometimes I feel like I have a baby in my pelvic area kicking me. . .. .Usually it lasts for a few minutes or even an hour. . . .
It's almost always on my right side, but can be on the left.
Thanks,
Happy

For me they feel like something very small is having spasms in my lower pelvis. It is almost always accompanied by pain and urgency.

Breaking News
sorry so long in posting. yes, remission for 2 weeks now!!!
you know that IC is related to IBS. they go hand-in-hand. i had to go to ER and he gave me dicyclomine 20mg, something my urologist had not tried. miraculous. really tames the spasms.
i just got married on dec. 29th because my boyfriend was my angel through this. he would love to get pregnant. yes,m so much better to get something good out of it if your abdomen is kickin. i am just terrified that pregnancy will reactivate it. should i be?
