High-Risk Pregnancy

Update..

Well another doctor appointment and still confused. i see two different ob's and they can not make up their minds. One says she wants me on bed rest the other says no. Well so far in this High risk pregnancy I have lost 30 pounds and for the last 6 weeks have fluctuated by gaining a pound losing a pound ect. Also my blood pressure is slowly creepying up, my cervix is still above 3 but barely, having contractions and as much as I dont like the idea of bed rest. I really wish they would just put me on bed rest so that atleast I feel like I am trying to keep little Hailey in as long as possible. I have had 2 premies and 6 m/c.

Re: Update..

  • I would say to do what you feel is right for your body and your baby.  Go on bedrest even if only 1 of the OBs wants you on it.  It certainly won't be bad for you to be on it!  Drink lots of water, lie on your left side, and just do what you need to do.  No one knows your body like you do.

  • I'm with Becca.  You know your body and if you've already had early babies then you have something to relate back to.  If you can get one doc to put you on bedrest, I'd go for it.  You are already pretty far along, so it won't be to bad.  This way you will not be as worried, and will hopefully help your BP and can also help keep your cervix from shrinking.  Good Luck and keep us posted!
