official bed rest

I am officially on bed rest and don't have a lap top, so I may not be posting quite as much. Just wanted to let you all know.

Basically, Dr. DeLia (not my doctors here) told me I should be on bed rest because of the many contractions I continue to have. My cervix measurement was still good at my last appointment, but it HAS changed and we don't want it to keep changing rapidly.

I have been on bedrest now for two weeks because of the same thing. So just to let you know that I am thinking of you during this time.

 

I figured, with all those contractions you were having, that bedrest would happen eventually. I know that it is not the news you wanted to hear, but hopefully it will help settle things down and prolong your pregnancy. We'll miss having you around as much, but PLEASE follow those orders strictly!!!

 

I am sorry to hear you are on bedrest. I hope it helps! I know how you feel. I am on week 5 of hospital bedrest so I feel your pain! Try to keep yourself busy with reading, crossword puzzles, tv, games. Anything to keep you from getting so bored. The first week or so is the worst then you kind of get used to it. I still have my down days, but it is nothing like the first week.

I'm sorry you have to go on bedrest, I always look forward to reading your posts and keeping track of where you are at and what you are doing. Take it easy and check in when you can. We will sure miss your daily presence.

 

I hate that you are on bedrest. I hope you can manage to check in with all of us on occasion. We are thinking of you.

 

Bedrest isn't so bad once you get in the swing of it. I have been on modified bedrest but I've been having alot of cntractions so I put myself on strict bedrest this week and it's already helping some. I hope the same works for you. We even just bought a little refrigerator for upstairs so I can have plenty of fluids readily available without having to go downstairs. It's all going to be worth it. I went on bedrest at 26 weeks. Hope you still get a chance to check in with us and let us know how you're doing.

sorry to hear you're on bedrest - but hopefully it will help!

 

Welcome to the BEDREST CLUB!!!
I've been on bedrest for 9 loooong weeks now. But I finally learned not to fight it and just try and enjoy it. Even on those boring days. Try to enjoy it.

 

Thank you all!! I wrote in another post that DH will be able to bring his laptop home from work some, so hopefully I'll still have some access here and there.
