Waaa I am officially on bed rest

KyleTriggerKyleTrigger
in 2nd Trimester

Well at my hemmi appt today my ob/gyn was monitoring her heart rate and she got this look like something was wrong. I could hear the heart rate was slower then normal. So she had me sit up then lay over on my side.

She said that the baby is having decelerations(sp) of the heart rate when I lay down and when I stand up. I have to go for further tests but she said it is most likely my anterior something else placenta. Meaning not only is my placenta in the anterior but it is smack dab in front of baby. She said that puts pressure on baby and causes her heart to decel.

And as far as the hemroids I got lovely suppositories, some yucky stuff to drink and I am also to be laying on my side with NO getting up for 3 days. Plus drinking metamucil.

So for the next month at least I am on strict bed rest with most of my time to be spent laying on my sides. I sobbed the whole way home. FI is going to be working out of town for the next 2 months and will be gone 5 days a week in a hotel. I am pretty much a mess right now. I know other people have it worse but I am still having a pity party..

    Oh sweetie that really sucks! I hope you feel better and baby is just fine. Maybe you can catch up on some much needed rest. Take in a few seasons of a TV show you missed. And do a lot of online shopping!

    I'm sorry. Do you have anyone to take care of you? Are you allowed to get up to use the bathroom?

    Is there family and friends close by that can help you while you are on bedrest since your husband will mostly be out of town? I have been on bedrest since last money for possible preeclampsia and hopefully they will tell me thursday when/if i can go back to work. It sucks, and i have cried at least once almost everyday out of frustration for not being able to do anything so I feel for you. Especially since you have hemorrhoids too, you poor thing :( Get a bunch of magazines, and hopefully you have a laptop and a snoogle!

    Just think of bed rest as a much needed vacation before the baby comes! I'm sure it will get boring after awhile, but there are certainly days that I wished I didn't have to work! 

     

    This is completely off topic but I LOVE apple cider donuts!

    Just remember that it's the beginning of a long line of sacrifices we make for our kids. Ditto getting some TV shows on DVD. And have DH run out and get you a nice frame to put LOs pic in next to the bed, so when you get down you can remind yourself who you're doing it for! Hope everything turns around for you- sounds like a lot happened all at once!

    You're not being whiny, I can't imagine anyone having a different reaction than that, especially when you have crazy raging hormones and your fiance will be out of town. You'll make it through...stock up on dumb magazines and chick flicks and hopefully you'll have some visitors and people to help take care of you. Good luck--you can do it!

    Sorry to hear. However, I was on bed rest the entire 1st semester and no sex as well. It was a complete bummer and sucked so bad. I have SCH. A subchorionic hematoma, its a blood clot between the placenta and the uterus. I was told that the chance of miscarriage was really high. I have my anatomy scan next week so we will see what the newest update is. Hopefully its gone. Wish us luck!!!

    I am here for you!

    I have been on bed rest that was modified from 14weeks to 20weeks, then full bed rest now for 5 weeks. I am 25 weeks pregnant and will be on bed rest until Lily comes. After 5 weeks, I have got this bed rest thing down pat so if you need someone to talk to, I'm here :)
