If you are/were on bedrest or terbutaline...

When did your OB lift the restrictions?  I am 35 weeks today- I am praying that the doctor will tell me that at 36 weeks we can just let nature take its' course.  I am headed straight for the hair salon if so!!  I haven't had a haircut in nearly 3 months due to bedrest!! LOL

My doctors never lifted my bedrest, but by 35 weeks I was breaking it to get some last minute things in before the girls were born.

LOL.  I was just thinking today that I have been "up" a lot more lately- just getting myself snacks, etc. instead of asking someone to do it.  We just got a new truck and it is murder not being able to take it out for a drive!  And then I will have a c-section and it will be another 2 weeks.  Drats!

I on the hospital bedrest the second time around 34 weeks (this time for pre-e) and I was actually encouraged to walk around. Previously I was on hospital bedrest for contractions with procardia. The bedrest was never officially lifted but at 34 weeks, my dosage of procardia decreased... I don't want to tell you go have your haircut, but if you do decide to go, be very careful and listen to your body!

My dr said that she would lift the bedrest at 36 weeks.  I didn't make it that far.  She did let me up one night at 33.5 weeks for DH's black tie for work for about 4 hours as long as I sat down for the majority of the evening.  She said she wouldn't stop labor after 34 weeks.  My girls must have heard because the night I hit 34 weeks, I went into labor again.

I was never taken off bedrest, but she was going to stop terbutaline at 35.5 weeks. I went into labor at 34w6d. Good luck!

I was taken off turb at 34 weeks but the bed rest was never lifted. however, towards the end I was venturing out more but I used the chair if at a store.  Mostly I went for drives because then I was still sitting.

Well, it turns out tht she scheduled me for my c-section for next Friday.  So maybe I can make a hair appointment for Thursday and hope for the best!  It seems silly to even care about my hair at this point, but I am dying to feel "normal" again!

I never had mine lifted, I delivered at 34 weeks but I'm pretty sure it would have been 36 weeks had I lasted that long.
