Bedrest question

How common is bedrest in twin pregnancy?

 

I am not sure about a statistic, but I was put on bedrest myself with the twins! I had no bedrest with my prior 3 pregnancies.

 

Both me and my sister were put on BR with our twin pregnancies and not our singletons.

 

My Dr. said she puts her mom's of multiples on modified bedrest at 28 weeks.

 

Bedrest is something I fear, big time! I am only 18 weeks, and I can see it coming. I am pretty active, and have a hard time slowing down. Kiesha

 

bedrest is one of my biggest concerns right now also..Ive had 5 singleton pg with no problems but I know that twins can do a number on your body...ack..

 

I think I remember reading in one of the 5 zillion books about twins that about 60% of ladies pregnant with twins go on bedrest.

 

Thanks everyone! I ahve had a lot of concerns about working ect. I have a 3 year old and worked until I went into labor, but I have the sense that might not happen this time.

No bed rest here. I did have a cerclage placed at 14 weeks though

 

From my bed I write to you. If you can slow down, do before they order you too. Bedrest is unpleasant at best, and I feel very lucky that my family has worked out a schedule of visits two weeks each till the babies are born to care for our nearly 3 year old. ( i think it would be much easier with out my son, but atleast he is in the other room if I need a hug.)

 

no bedrest here - if you feel good don't let your doc bully you!
