I posted about this before but didn't get much.
I had a low level uti that was causing me to want to pee always and hurt. It started about 8 weeks ago and doctors told me it was nothing that there was no infection. Eventually they told me I have interstitial cystitis, which was scary as reading up on that's not fun.
Anyway to cut a long story short, I saw a very specialist doctor who found an infection in me (some sort of very thorough culture) ! He said because the infection has been left to go on for more than 10 days, my bladder is so inflamed and sore and it's going to take a long time (potentially may not resolve itself until after the birth
) I'm only 18 weeks!!! He did inform me that interstitial cystitis is very rare and I didn't have that. Thank god.
Anyway I've been treated for the infection but bladder still constantly sore. I've been signed off work indefinitely.
Basically I just wanted some reassurance from other pregger ladies that they use the loo loads too! Obviously I have to contend with inflammed bladder and growing baby.
.
Just feeling really shit. I'm basically stuck at home. I can't walk much without my bladder feeling like it's about to fall out of my body.
Can anyone relate???
