Stuck...

Papa Bear's Bride

... in bed for the next 2wks 2days. Due to a lovely family that can't seem to hold down the drama for the last stretch of my pregnancy, and a tendency to drag me into the middle of everything they do, I've now officially had too many contractions. Dilated to 3cm, 50% effaced, and continuing to contract, I'm now on full bed rest, pelvic rest, and herbal remedies for contractions. We're hoping that we don't have to try brethine again, since that stuff makes me super jumpy and my heart rate drives up to 130+ every time.

Aw, friend. I'm sorry to hear that you are on bed rest, but I hope you'll at least enjoy getting to relax! This is probably your last chance for rest... so take advantage.

Does your Dr. think you'll go early regardless?

Sorry about the news.  Hang in there and try to get some R&R!

StellaBelle, it looks like they're not going to stop my labor if I happen to go. The consensus is as soon as I start moving around and getting active I'll have a baby. Ugh! I just can't stand the thought of being in bed 24/7! I'm too active to be this sedentary.

Thanks gals. I'm trying to keep my mind busy with books and crossword puzzles. Unfortunately, the mother-board is broken in my laptop, so I'm "cheating" right now and sitting at the computer desk. Headed back to bed. Have a great day, ladies!
