I haven't said much on the blog about IC, because it has been quite normal. I've had flairs, caused by God only knows what, sometimes lasting up to a week. I had those random flairs before becoming pregnant. As our baby grows, the only abnormal IC related discomfort I've experienced is when she kicks or moves near my bladder. It's an alarming, stabbing feeling that only lasts a second.
As I write this, I am 35 weeks pregnant and aware of my IC every day. Before, I only experienced urgency during flairs. Now, the urgency is consistent. With this 5+ pound baby sitting on my bladder, I always feel like I have to go to the restroom. I could go every 5 minutes and spend the whole day in the restroom. That's no way to live. So, I try to ignore the urge the best I can until I can't stand it anymore. I go about every hour during the day and every 2 hours at night. Car rides have been the most painful. A road that seemed smooth before all of the sudden is like a mountain range.
