I'm trying to find a suppose group for anyone on hospital bedrest I'll be here till 34 weeks unless the baby comes on her own I'm 30+5 days and I feel so sad although I know it's what's best for her , my leaking won't stop as I'm being treated for pprom. Is anyone else feeling this or going through anything similar
Re: Hospital bed rest anyone ?
Hang in there, I know it is scary! Have they given you steroid shots to help develop her lungs?
I think that reaction is totally normal. No one wants their pregnancy to be stressful or spend an extended amount of time in the hospital. You are in the best possible place for you and your baby at this point.
When I was on bed rest with DS's pregnancy (well and this time I guess), my best way to fight the constant feelings and stress was to stick to a routine. I got up at the same time daily, took a shower, read books, watched series of tv shows on netflix, etc. I would just see how your days pan out in the hospital in terms of if you are allowed to shower, when nurses come, how long you are alone, plan visitors, etc. I know it sucks, but looking back on the time I had bed rest with DS it seemed like a small blip on the radar. I hope you can keep your LO cooking for another 3.5 weeks to get to 34 weeks. That is my goal as well for this litle girl.
I think because I am still adjusting to bed rest again (day 4), I don't think it has fully set in yet. It also helps that I am home. Currently, I need to get into a better routine as I am still in my pajamas at almost 2 pm...thankfully my Mom is here to help with my 2 year old until Friday and then DH is off for a week, and MIL is coming to help with DS and the house work until I hit 34 weeks. Hang in there.
Just keep telling yourself it's what's best for baby...you're in a place where they can monitor you and treat you immediately if needed. We can get through it!!
Get rest try and go week by week. Hospital bed rest is horrible I cried everyday I just couldn't bare the fact of being there . Stay busy and keep a schedule that's what I had to do
