31w and on strict bed rest from now on!

Ugh! I was admitted to labor and delivery on Saturday night, released Monday afternoon, and am now on strict bed rest.

I can't do anything, no cooking, no cleaning, no sex Super AngryCrying ( which above everything annoys me), all I can do is sit on my ever widening butt lol!

Anyone else going through the same thing?

    I'm on bedrest too. I can get up to pee and grab a snack, but that's about it. I just made a post on High-Risk Pregnancy, and they also have a "Bed Rest Mamas" group, so you should def join over there!

    I hope everything is ok with you and your sweet baby. Hang in there!

    Me too, from 30 weeks.  I come off of my terbutaline pump Friday though and then I think they will let me do more things!  I am excited.  It really went pretty quickly when I think about it.

    I was from weeks 28-36 with DD. Strict. They even restricted my showering! I could only shower every other day and even then it was a quick wash and rinse and out. 5 minutes tops. It totally sucked. Daytime TV gets boring after a few days. I had a lot of friends and family who brought me books and magazines. Hope your LO stays put. BR is a total drag but it's more than worth it. Hang in there!

    Went to work on Saturday, and started to majorly over heat.  My LO didn't move as much so I went in to get checked, and they found out I was 2cm dilated and 60% effaced.  I have to go to NST twice a week now to be monitored, fortunately I'm not on any meds to stop contractions.  Not having enough of them yet to be put on them. Hopefully it stays like that.

    I am on BR too, have been since 30w 0d.  The days go by fairly quickly.  Luckily I have had great support, lots of people bringing me food & reading materials. Its just weird to think that I haven't been outside in almost 2 weeks!

    I am not in any way trying to come across as your sitch doesn't suck, but know it could be worse. :-) I'm stuck in the hospital and I can't even get up to go to the bathroom. Good luck on not going stir crazy!

    Oh believe me I know it could be worse! I was so thankful to get out of the hospital, just to worry about having to go back last night thanks to contractions.  However I was blessed, and they stopped.  I don't know what I'd do if I was stuck in the hospital and unable to even get up to go to the restroom.  All I can think about is the embarrassment of having to have a BM and ask for a bed pan......no thanks!

    Good luck sweetie, I hope everything works out for the best.  More power to you for putting up with it.  Cause I don't think I could!

    Scary! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't need those meds. GL to you.
