Bedrest is turning me into a lunatic

Jessrof

So after our bleeding scare on Thurs... I am on bedrest for the next two weeks.  I have lots of studying to do so I thought this was perfect... well I was wrong.  I sent hubby to his golf tournament 2 hrs away and I am about to go crazy with no one to talk to.  My bff lives in Germany so we can only communicate via text message and everyone else is feverishly studying for finals.  Then a friend of mine (who is in med school) messaged me on facebook and was asking how I was doing.... then he proceeded to tell me that as long as I make it to 30 weeks (from a drs stand point) I would be in good shape.... I know he was trying to help but this sent me into an emotional tailspin wondering if Baby and I will make it this long. 

Sorry for the emotional vent.... I think I just need some human interaction.  I love my dogs and all but they just aren't cutting it.  Now I am doing some online shopping cause that always make me feel better, but all I wanna do is take the dogs on a long walk to decompress.  I have so much respect to moms that have to be on bedrest longterm.  I am pretty sure they would have to drug me....

I know what you mean. I'm hoping to finish a 4wk stint of bedrest on the 3rd.

Hope this goes quickly for you!

Oh Jess!  I'm so sorry that you are feeling so isolated and alone.  Do you and your friend in Germany have Skype?   I moved a couple of months ago away from all my family and friends and Skype has been the only thing to keep me from getting TOO homesick.  It's free to use and so awesome.    I hope your hubby gets back in town soon so you'll have someone there with you.   I hope you're all set up on snacks and drinks and stuff so you don't have to get up too often.

Sorry you are going through this.  Hopefully it will go quick for you and you and baby will be just fine.

We use skype to text with our phones... but we don't actually use it to chat.  We might try it tomorrow.  But since it is midnight there it will have to wait.

I can imagine! I hope these two weeks fly by for you. 

Last night I had contractions one right after another for about three hours straight until I fell asleep. I had a few first thing this morning when I woke up too. My BFF is a L&D nurse. She suggested bedrest for the weekend and to call my dr if things get worse. It hasn't even been a day yet, and I am already going crazy!

Sorry to hear your having contractions.  That has got to be scary!  I think being put on bedrest and having that label makes it a little too real for me... It means there is a real danger and that is scary as crap!

Sorry to hear...that would be so frustrating! And I've tried to study in a laying/lounging position before - it's so much harder! Good luck to you:)

Sorry it's been so lonely. I feel similar. I haven't been on bed rest but my work cut hours and I was out of work for 3 weeks. We weren't prepared for me to be out of work so money is tight and I couldn't entertain myself outside the house, plus everyone else was working 9-5 all week. I felt like a lost puppy by the time DH got home that it would drive him crazy that all I wanted to do was talk to him or keep his attention. Now that I'm back to work, it's so hard on my body and my doctor thinks I'll have to start leave earlier then sept. Sounds like bed rest will be in my future but hopefully not for a few more months.
