Re: On Hospital Bed Rest!
Wow... Triplets! Congrats! Sorry you are on bed rest, but you are in good company here. We have a daily bed rest check-in post on weekdays... Come join us for support, insight and some laughs!
Good luck to you!
Congratulations on the triplets! That is amazing!! My SIL was pregnant with twins, had GD, on bed rest and medication to prevent preterm labor, as well as on monitors on her to keep up with her contractions. She had two healthy babies at 37 weeks! One weighed 6 pounds, and one weighed 7. You can do it! It sounds like you are being taken care of very well.
I was just put on bed rest...but at home. Although, I am only having one baby and I am 33 weeks. Feel thankful that they caught everything early and are able to control it! Just keep your head up! You are doing a great job keeping those sweet babies in there!
You can do it. Its a hard road and you will have good days and bad days.
I did a month in the hospital here are a few of the things that got me through.
Make a schedule for yourself, the nurses will ask you when you will like to monitor etc. I would wake up at 9 and take my meds, order breakfast, monitor, shower... etc
Take time for you and dh. I felt so disconnected from my husband he would try to sit in the bed with me and then nurses would come in. We just never got any alone time. So if you are allowed wheelchair rides? Go to the caf or the chapel or the gift shop. Also we found playing card or board games was nice.
I wasnt able to read between the interruptions and the meds making me feel off. So I did projects that didnt take much mind. Making baby hats on a circle loom etc.
Good luck my dear, everyone is here to help you make it through this!
I am not allowed out of bed yet. Using a bed pan and shower every other day or so but sitting. I have been doing lots of reading and making a patch work blanket.
