BED REST ..when did you go out?

Lindz5pie

I am currently 13 weeks with what they are calling spontaneous identical triplets.. i am super excited and nervous all at the same time. Everyone is telling me because im small ill probably be put on bed rest early. I was wondering if anyone can share what week they went to before put on bed rest or possibly positive stories of no bed rest and delievering at a healthy week Thank you so much !!

I only had twins. I made it to 30 weeks exactly . Then I went into labor which was stopped. Bed rest from there on out. I made it up 35 weeks.

I'm currently 31w6d with triplets and not on bedrest.  I did put a cot in my office during early 2nd Tri so that I could lie down when needed, then cut my hours around 24wks.  At 29 wks I started working mainly from home, going into the office 2 days per week for only a couple of hours each time.  At this point, even without mandatory bed rest, my body can't handle doing much more than lying in bed or sitting in the recliner.  So far, knock on wood, I've had no complications other than hyperthyroid and high BP, which were both regulated with medications during early 2nd Tri.

Best of luck to you!

Congrats and welcome! I have spontaneous ID triplets who are now 5. I never went on bedrest and delivered at 33w2d due to pre-e. Well, I kind of went on bedrest for the 9 days before they were born, but that was more so the doctors could keep an eye on me.

My twins are nice and big, but I have a petite frame. I went on bedrest at 28 weeks.  I'm almost at 31 weeks. Bedrest sucks, but it's helped keep my uterus quiet and my cervix hasn't shortened further. 

FWIW, I have two friends who are tiny and they never went on bedrest with their twin pregnancies. Everyone is different.

I went into PTL at 25 weeks. I stayed in the hospital until they were born at 31 weeks...baby B broke her water. I worked my desk job until 23 weeks...wish I would have stopped at 20 like my MFM wanted. take it easy...you don't get a do-over. Best of luck!

I am 5ft 2in and did not go on bed rest till 27/28 weeks only cause I went in to PTL which I did at same point with my singleton. I did about 5 weeks of not strict bed rest and at 32 weeks went off it and still carried my trio to 35w3d which was scheduled csection. Good luck and welcome.
