I was on hospital bedrest for a month in Dec/Jan.  I'm still on procardia at home for the  contractions.  I hope they can hold them off for awhile longer for you.  Good luck!!!!!!!!!

try to relax if you can (i know easier said than done), but 31 weeks is a safe place  to be. i had dd at 32 weeks, and she only spent 5 days in nicu with no major problems. good luck.... and if you need any support let me know, i have been there.

I am for PTL. Have been since 24 weeks. Sucks, but as long as you stay focused on the outcome it's not so bad.

I was just released yesterday after 6 weeks. Doing BR at home now.

 Hang in there. With the constant ins and outs of hospital staff, your days are sure to fly by fast! IMO.

I am!  It is sucky.  This bed is not conducive to rest.  Also, getting woken up every 2 hours to have my BP taken is not conducive to rest.

 

ditto!!! i am so sick of getting my BP checked!! the nurse who came in at 4am last night was all talkative and giggiling.  I almost strangled her...hello! its 4am!!!!

I really feel for you girls!!! i was on bedrest from 20 weeks until i delivered @ 33!! went into PTL twice!!  then the babies were in the hospital 3 more weeks!!  I made friends with all the staff and they would bring me stuff from outside the hospital (like food, mags, videos etc!!)  That made it tolerable!!  Also, i know the hospital beds (at least mine) weren't COMFORTABLE AT ALL!!!  So i asked if I could buy a memory foam matteress topper!!  That helped A LOT!!  that and I had my own pillows!!  HOpe this helps with some ideas!
