Hi Louise,
I am so sorry you are going through this, but congratulations on your pregnancy. I know it feels like forever (I just delivered 11 weeks ago, and my pregnancy was difficult...but yours sounds unbearable), but you are getting near the end of your pregnancy. Many women are required to go on bedrest at the end of their pregnancy, and if you are feeling like a "recluse" as you said, we could help provide information on how women make it through another 10 weeks (or less) of being on bedrest while pregnant. I'm not sure what your work/job situation is, or how your health insurance is going...are those added stressors?
As far as our suggestions or information on if a catheter would help your IC while pregnant, I'm so sorry to say that only your doctor will be able to tell you what is best for your specific condition while you are pregnant. Since you are going to the doctor's office on Tuesday, can you write back to us and let us know what was recommended, and we can help you search for information that your doctor recommends, if you are confused by any terms, or would just like more information on treatment options (once approved/suggested by your doctor).
Please hang in there. Do you have a good support system helping you? How old are you? Do you have any other small children that you are also caring for?
