Thursday bedrest check-in

Roses87

Good morning ladies!

How did everyone sleep?

Milestones, appts, updates?

Qotd: do you have any furbabies? Are you nervous about bringing LO home with them?

It seems like every other night I wake up about 3:30 and am awake until 5.  That was last night so I was a little tired this morning but feeling ok now. No milestones or updates!  Feeling good at 37w3d.  

We have a yorkie who was like our first born and might have spoiled her a little too much.  She was our #1 for 8 years before we had our first and there's some jealously issues.  Hopefully once the second one comes around she'll finally accept it.

@maitaibeth - good luck today getting checked in! Are they doing the whole shabang, steroids, mag?

@jandm525 - are you off bedrest. If so how are things going? Do you tire out as fast as I do?

I slept good. I have a little cold right now that I woke up a few times because of it.

On my nst right now! I am going to ask today about scheduling a c section if I don't go into labor since LO is difficult and has been frank breech since 27 weeks.

I have two cats gus and Cleo. Gus is a black cat and Cleo is a tortoise shell kitty. Gus will be fine. I am nervous about Cleo. She is very territorial and is nervous around kids like my niece and nephews. Hopefully she gets over it fast and realizes the baby is here to stay and will like it.

hi ladies!

i slept okay. i woke up at 4 when they came in to take my vitals and couldn't get back to sleep for awhile. meh.

LO had me freaking out a little last night during our monitoring. normally he's kicking it and active and his HR is on the high end, but last night it was lower(still in the normal range, but lower than his normal) and he wasn't moving around much. it scared me, but the nurses told me it looked like a perfect sleep cycle.
thanks for the heart attack, kid.

we have one dog at home. i'm a little scared, but shes been great with kids coming over, so hopefully she'll be great with LO!

Hi ladies! I slept pretty good but I had to take a Benadryl. 36 weeks this week! Nothing to exciting. Wasnt feeling to good yesterday, thought i might have caught a stomach bug, but today I feel better. glad everyone is still hanging in there! I wish I could have a dog, but im allergic.

@Roses87:  At this point I am off of bed rest but taking things slow.  Not because I want to but because I have to due to tiring so quickly.  I have been trying to get everything in order around the house and my back seems to be what puts me back in bed.  By the end of the day I am whooped but for some reason have been having some sleep issues.  It feel so good to shower more frequently and get some strength back!  How have you been feeling?  By chance did your doctor give you any kind of exercises or guidance on gaining strength back safely before the baby comes?  My instructions were to move around more...kind of vague.

I am feeling good. Just very tired by the end of the day. I actually didn't ask about exercises but I don't feel too bad. If I am on my feet for a while my low back get sore but not terrible. My dr actually made a comment about how strong my abs are. Which I was surprised to hear. I did workout a decent amount before but wouldn't think they would still be there with bedrest. My arms are so flabby though. I think once I recover I may get a personal trainer to help me get back in shape so I don't hurt myself when I try.
