Mod BR & losing my mind

Burberry0421

I am 16 weeks pregnant with twin boys, and as of a couple of weeks ago, I am on modified bed rest. I started having shooting pains in my vuhjeena after sex, so I called my dr who told me to rest & drink lots of water. The pain persisted, so I went in the next day & everything looked fine. He told me that it's probably my uterus growing at a rapid rate & pushing on everything. He also told me to consider this a "precious pregnancy," and to lay low. No pushing myself, no heavy lifting, no sex, no exercise. If I feel pain, lay down.

Well, I can only be in a store, walking around for about 15-20 minutes before I feel the shooting pains. Grocery shopping is out, long walks are out. I'm going crazy. I'm a photographer, & even though it's off season, I miss photography. I didn't want to give it up as soon as I wound up having to.

YES, I crochet - everyone is telling me to take up crocheting. I crochet. I have tons of books on my Kindle, I have Netflix. I'm fully loaded, but I am bored with being in my room with limited adult human interaction. I have a wiley 3 year old who is cooped up with me. She's doing better than I am though

That's all. Just bitching. I'm just sick of it, and never thought I'd be confined so early on in my pregnancy. /endrant

I was on bed rest and had a 3 year old in the house too. Take all the help that is offered to you from friends and family. 

For me the first week of bedrest was the hardest. Then I sort of got used to it. Being on this website and other social networks helped me stay connected with the outside world. 

You could always take up knitting  I bet it wouldn't be too hard to learn since you know how to crochet

Well I don't have the joys of the 3 year old but I am on day 27 of hospital bed rest and will be here until I deliver!! It sounds like you have a slew of good activities already built up. But if you need more ideas of what I am doing daily, you can check out my blog?! Maybe it will help. I try to update it every night. I do a lot online, paint, do activity books, color, read books, use a loom to make baby hats, watch TV, etc. Good luck and hang in there!

It's a vagina, lets use big girl words .

Bedrest isn't much fun, but keep your eyes on the prize! After 14 weeks of bedrest, I can commiserate. Hang in there.
