    If u are in too much pain id just go to the er.. I don't know what the condition u have is exactly but I know if u are in a serious amount of pain its probably not a good situation and u should get looked at asap! I really hope u feel better soon!

    Emergency room isn't an option? Sometimes there is just no room to suffer pain while pregnant.

    @mommy_of_4 & @threefatsamurai .... It's a inflammation of the bladder. I feel as tho if I go to the er they can't treat me only give me pain meds n send me on my way. My ob also treats that condition so I can check on the babies n get treatment @ the same time. I hope I don't sound crazy

    Well in that case I would try and hold off for the dr. I know a uti is probably nothing in comparison but I used to have them chronically and they hurt like hell so I can only imagine how u feel! What time is it where ur at?
  • threefatsamuraithreefatsamurai
    I had a pretty nasty bladder infection last week and I can imagine the pain being somewhat similar. There really isn't any pain medicine they can give, however the sooner you start treatment the better. If you think you should wait, you can always try a warm bath or a heating pad?

    @married with_4, I have ic also. I really only get it bad right before I would get my period. I am 11 weeks and have pain some times. I was wondering if it was from my fibroids I had removed. How far are you? We could be experiencing it from ic. The only thing that will help is pain pills. I don't think we can be on elmiron when pregnant. Have you noticed it with certain foods. Red sauce does not go well with me. I used to have it bad a couple of years ago, that is when I was on elmiron. I had to go off of it when we were trying to get pregnant.

    @mommy_of_4 its just comin up on 8 am, try a uti the 10000 power

    @threefatsamurai the doc on call said to take tylenol n I never thought about a heating pad..... Thanks

    Don't drink cranberry it will make it worse
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @jodi102011 mine has never been bad. No pain, no treatment only frequent urination now since I'm pregnant its horrible. I'm 13w3d n I hope it gets better
  • threefatsamuraithreefatsamurai
    I hate tylenol lol I've taken so much this pregnancy for migraines and ugh. Just nothing works like excedrin. I wish they'd make a safe stronger version of tylenol to help with more of the aches and pains of this oh so wonderful thing we call pregnancy. Lol
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    Do you eat onions? They are bad also. I am reaching would be period time so I will watch what I eat now.
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    I think as we get bigger it will be worse. I had to go to physical therapy for my pelvis. I was peeing 20 to thirty times a day. I had to train my bladder. It hurts like hell
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    I was going to get crotizone shots in my belly but now I can't because of pregnant. Its been better though since being on the pills. I have not been on them though now for 2 years.
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @threefatsamurai I hate any meds I always try to ride the pain out before I take anything. Lol

    @jodi102011 I guess I need to pull out my food list now
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @jodi102011 how long does the pain usually last
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    You can goolge what to avoid with ic. Unfortunately fruit can be bad with ic. I am doing clemintines because I can't do oranges. Tomatoes are bad, everyone is different though.
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    It depends what you eat. I have not had flare up in awhile. Mine usually last a couple of hours. I have to take tylenol but some times that does nothing. Do you have fb, I belong to a group that has ic. I have not asked them about ic and pregnancy though. Where is your pain at? I also have ibs so that is painful also.
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    I had fibroids that were on my bladder. They were removed. That has helped me. I think it will get worse as baby gets bigger
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @jodi102011 yep I'm on Fb. I have a list of foods I have to find it. It might b easier to Google then print. Lol
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    The food you eat will trigger your symptoms. I am at work but I can look on my lunch the foods to avoid.
  • jodi102011jodi102011
    Yeah, this is my email address jodi_meister@yahoo.com. you can add me as a friend. Then the ic group is in my friends list or I think if you google it there willbe a link for fb
  • jodi102011jodi102011
