Add another to team bedrest...

Kristen61607

I'm not really surprised though. To be honest I'm thrilled I made it this long without being on bedrest.

But I went to my appt. today and complained to my dr. of lots of BH's and just general discomfort...she said that's typical at this stage in a twin pregnancy b/c I'm now measuring full term...but she decided to check my cervix anyways. 

It's still closed, but it's softening and getting shorter. So she said she wants me to take it really easy from here on out. No more grocery shopping trips or housework. This isn't going to be a huge change because since I quit working 2 weeks ago I've been doing a LOT of laying on the couch just because I'm always tired. But I also did housework as well. 

Anyways, hoping I can cook these babies another 5+ weeks!!! But again, I'm really grateful I've even made it this far!

Aw I'm sure that's not the news you wanted to hear, but try and look at it as a good thing. You'll be resting up for taking care of TWO babies! I hope the next 5 weeks go by quickly and your little cupcakes keep on baking. Good luck to you!

Wow! I really hope you make it those 5+ weeks too! sending T&P your way! Bed Rest sucks (been on it since 22 weeks) but it's so important for the health and safety of your babies! (I still go to the grocery store, but I take someone along with me, and I ride one of those old people carts...keeps me off of my feet and I still get to pick out my own food) Good luck and Keep your LO's cookin!

Good luck to you. Do you mind me asking how effaced you are? I'm in the same situation, and though I know it's different with twins, I'm just curious...thx

I think you are doing great coming this far and feeling so well! Hang in there. I hope the bed rest goes by quickly, and that you make it5 more weeks.

Sorry to hear about the bed rest, but way to make it so far! Your LOs will be here before you know it!

Welcome to team bed rest! As long as your bed rest isn't strict, it's not that bad. I am basically just super lazy. I hang out on the couch and in bed and do whatever I feel like. 

Good luck over the next couple of months!

I'm sorry I don't know, she didn't say! all she said was that it's soft and getting shorter and while it's not cause for immediate alarm yet, we're going to keep a close eye on things. 

Thanks ladies! I know, I feel pretty grateful to have made it this far honestly. I'd LOVE to make it past 35 weeks though...we'll see!

Sorry to hear about the bedrest but hopefully this will keep your babies cooking until they are ready.

Bedrest for me too, it will go by fast!!!  I have spent 5 weeks already (one in the hospital) and it has gone by pretty quick.

Good luck. I agree with whoever said it bed rest sucks. I was on bed rest with last pg. I was on complete bed rest when I was in the hospital at 28 weeks and once I went home it was moderate bed rest.

For what it's worth no one thought I'd make it to 37 weeks with my last pg , and I did,so stay positive !

Sorry you had to go on bedrest.  I'm with you - I'm thrilled to be 30 weeks with twins and not (though who knows what will happen at my appointment on Thursday.  Rest up and keep those babies cooking!
