Soooo, here we go. I was hoping to avoid bedrest, of course. But, my cervix says otherwise. At my appt today I was 1 cm and was 3cm long but when she had me "bear down" I went to 2. I feel my peri is being overly cautious but I will obey. I would love to keep these babies cooking another 8 weeks ETA: babies are huge and healthy. Ike is 3lb 10 oz and Lucy is 3lb 3oz!!
I know how much bedrest sucks. You can do it though. Load up on your reading and movies you want to see.
Good luck cooking those babies! Sorry you ended up on bedrest. From what we read it works! You can do it! We need to keep you company in here...
I was put on bedrest for contraction at 30 weeks. It is doable and so worth it for healthy babies. You can do it.
SO sorry that you have to do this! I can't imagine how hard it is. I was only on modified bed rest for a couple of weeks at home and hospital bedrest for 10 days. I will say... do what you can to AVOID hospital bed rest! It is NOT pleasant!! Hang in there! Babies are soooo worth every ounce of agony we go through for them!
thank you all for your kindness! I am hanging in there, now that I have somewhat of a routine going for my dd and myself! Hoping to hang on til 37 wks! 30 wks today! :silly:
I've been there and, while bedrest will make you feel like you are going out of your mind, you can do it. I survived thanks to netflix on demand. We have a wireless network in our house and I laid in bed and streamed all of the videos my husband would never watch (Confessions of a Shopaholic anyone?) watched all of the Grey's Anatomy episodes and camped out in Twinstuff. Also, use it to start filling in your baby books. You will never have this much free time again. Good luck, momma!
I honesstly wouldn't mind bedrest, but I have a 2.5 yo dd. I have been getting alot of help from family but i feel i get up more than i should...it really is difficult, but, i am working thru it!
