i'm at hospital on bed rest...

Till I have the babies. I was admitted today for pre-eclampsia. Got a steroid shot earlier. I know this is the best place for me but it just sucks. We just bought a house friday n they have been moving us in all weekend. I haven't even had a chance to sleep there yet bc dh was painting n we r having wood floors put in tomorrow. Oh well. My mom is staying w me tonight. Internet service sucks here n I'm suprised my blackberry is letting me post. Thanks for listening if you made it this far. Please send me any good thoughts n wishes. Thanks ladies:)

  • I'm sorry you are stuck there at the hospital. I hope you are able to find things to keep you busy and keep your mind occupied.

  • I'm sorry. I hope that the time goes quickly for you in there.  Congratulations on the new house.  The timing is horrible, but it will all be worth it.  Good luck. 
  • i feel your pain! i was in your exact situation at 32 weeks. where are you at?

    hang in there...hopefully for a long time!

  • I'm so sorry--I am on bedrest until I deliver too, so I know how you feel (we even just moved into a new place too).  Of course I would prefer to be home, but it really does seem to be extending my pregnancy so far.  

    My only advice so far is to try to create a bit of a routine--it helps me feel like I have "a day."  And as weird as it may sound, I always try to put on make up everyday (not evening type make up of course, but the full deal like I would if I were working or such)--it makes me feel a little normal.

    Best wishes for you and your babies!

  • i'm so sorry- but you'll make it! you are not that far away! And just think- when you get to your new house everything will be done :) You shouldn't be there doing stuff anyway - so this will force you to get the rest you need --- enjoy it as much as you can b/c you won't get it anymore --- i know you hate when people say that ;) but it's so true!
  • Well, that stinks, but I'm glad your docs are taking care of you.  Hopefully you can get some rest (I always hated the hospital beds - they're most uncomfortable).  Take care of yourself!

  • I am so sorry! You are so close to goal -

    I just got out of the hospital for PTL and I tried to have a routine too - even though I was only there for a few days. My brother also downloaded a Mario Bros game for me to play on my computer (no internet needed after download) as well as some card games. Pogo.com was my friend as well.

    PM me if you are interested in any of the downloadable games!

  • Hang in there!!  Just an FYI, I had my twins at 33 w 6 d and recieved only one steroid shot.  They were in the NICU for 18 and 21 days and were just "feeders / growers" and are healthy little chunkers now! 

     I hope you are able to relax some!  Take care!

  • I'm sorry. I went in the same time as you. Try to hang in there and glad you got a chance to get the steroids.
  • I just got put on hospital bedrest too.  Just remember... if you've made it to 33 weeks, you've made it through a lot of the questionable times.  My nurses keep telling me that the fact that I'm at 32 weeks is really good.  You're even further!  Did you get the steroid shots for your babies' lungs?  The NICU doctors told me that most of the other risks of premature babies sort of fade out after 32 weeks.  Hopefully it's true and we can both rest easy and keep baking our babies :)  Good luck!

  • Sorry about the hospital stay but I hope you can keep those babies in for a bit longer. In a way its pretty cool that you and the babies will be staying in the new house for the first time after they get here. :)
