Thankfully I am having just a bit of brown spotting, and the cramping is gone...what a scare. I called the RE this morning and spoke with a nurse who said that bedrest is unnecessary at this stage of the game--since the bleeding didn't correlate with any increased activity yesterday, it could start again with or without activity.....so I guess I'll be going back to work tomorrow assuming that things stay nice and calm today. Of course I will have no shame asking other people to do my heavy lifting!
Thanks for all your help, everyone!
Re: bleeding seems to have stopped
I am glad the bleeding has stopped! Take it easy at work though. I also do a lot of heavy lifting at my job (I am in the medical field) - and I was told that after the bleeding has stopped my max I could lift was 15 lbs.
Like you said- ask for help with heavy lifting!!!
Glad things are better!
