I know some people just go for the C-section, which I don't want. My OB recommended an early epidural. Do you think it would really make a difference though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interstitial-cystitis-or-vulvodynia#post-199213 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 11:30:23 +0000 stargal 199213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have IC. ive had it for about 4-5 years now. i really thought it would be unbearable during pregancy but surprisngly it hasnt. i thinking drinking tons of water has helped actually and some days i feel better then before when i wasnt pregnant. alothough there was about a week in the seconnd trimester (maybe arond 16=17 weeks) where it was unbearable, i coulndt sleep going pee every 20 minutes, extreme pressure. but i really think the extra water is why i am feeling so good with it duing pregancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interstitial-cystitis-or-vulvodynia#post-199204 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 11:26:11 +0000 jedeve 199204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any bees have IC or vulvodynia?
