Frustrated

I have been put on bed rest since 26 1/2 weeks. I seem to be having one issue after another.....started of with BP issues, then protein in my urine (small amounts), then what they thought was a seizure disorder (more testing shows its not) now my cervix has started to dialate and I am having contractions.

I cant help but to feel like I am failing my children and my husband. I have a 10 month old lil girl who I am having a hard time taking care of becuase of being on bed rest and being so uncomfortable. Plus I feel like my body is failing my unborn lil girl because of all this issues I am having. Not to mention my house is no longer being kept "clean" like I like it because I cant clean it other people are doing so for me.

Anyone else on bedrest seem to being feeling like this?

    You are not alone.  I feel like that too.  Is it to much to ask my body to do something it was meant to do?

    I totally know how you feel.  We battled infertility for a few years before getting pregnant, and when I finally did get pregnant I was put on bed rest at 17 weeks.  Now I get to take insulin 4 times a day for gestational diabetes, and the kicker, I wasn't even overweight and have only gained 6 pounds so far.  You aren't alone I promise :)  it gets super frustrating feeling like your body won't do it's "womanly" job, but when I start thinking that way, I try to reassure myself that my body is doing the best it can, and at least it hasn't given up on me yet!  And if I am having a really hard time I watch Cops.  Why?  Because it is entertaining and I feel good knowing that at least I am not running from the cops with awful excuses as to why I committed a crime ;)

    I definitely feel my body is letting everyone down!

    The only upside for me is that we flew my husband's stepmom out to clean/get the house ready since i was on bedrest (hospital bedrest since the day before she arrived, what timing!) and I was never good at cleaning or organizing anyways. I know when I bring the baby home it will be cleaner than I could have ever done- unless my husband ruins it first but he'll only be alone for ~3 days and she has threatened him!
