Fabulous....now i have to.deal with the three hour test while stuck here in the hospital. If i fail the three hour one, i have no.idea what i.will do, b/c the regular food is horrible enough here without having to be on a special diet. They are not going to.let me go.until i deliver, despite everything having been stable for over two weeks. No contractions, cervix is long and closed, the decreased the monitoring to.less than.i was getting as outpatient (that may just be b/c of the holiday). She said on Monday they will.talk tk the mfm and get "the plan" on delivery dates. I am miserable and this really defies.logic...they don't even let me leave the room. My mental health is not well.

    Aw, sweetie. Sorry you're having a rough time. I failed my one hour while on hospital bed rest and they let me do a 2 hour instead of 3. It's just as effective at diagnosing, and I was so miserable they wanted to do anything to make it better for me. Ask! Also, are you far from the hospital? That could be factoring into their decision to keep you. I know it's hard, but you really are in the best place if anything happens. Sending you and your girls love and strength.

    So sorry....you have been through so much! Failing the 1hr is no indication of how you'll do on the 3hr.....I failed the 1hr but passed the 3hr easily so it can be done! Hang in there mama....you're doing such a good job cooking those babies and it won't last forever!

    Sending you lots of good thoughts. I failed the 1 hr but passed the 3. It must be so hard knowing you have to stay there but if anything were to happen you will be glad that's where you are. It doesn't make it any easier though. Hang in there.

    So sorry!

    I failed my one hour (miserably) but passed my 3 hour with flying colors. Hang on there - you can do it.

    I really feel you on this! I have been in the hospital for 23 days now and I am 25w2d.  The other day I took the 1-hour test and passed.  The next morning I called down to order food (a salad, cheese and grapes) and the dietician told me I was not allowed to have cheese because I was on a 2200 cal gestational diabetes diet.  This led to a break down of epic proportions.  I cried so hard I almost hyperventilated.  I cried to my husband that I wanted to go home because I didn't feel like they were doing anything here that I could not do at home, expect the morning and evening monitoring.  Eventually I calmed down, but only with the promise from my husband that he will be taking me home at 28 weeks if my cervix does not change any (6mm) and my water does not break.  It turns out the morning nurse had screwed up and put in my charts that I had GD.  The best part is that the cheese wasn't even for me, it was for DH. It was just the straw that broke the camels back lol.

     

    I'm sorry your mental health is not well right now, but it is understandable.  Two things that have helped me so far are creating a schedule so I feel like there is some purpose within my day and taking Ambien and Tylenol at night to help me sleep.  Without a good nights sleep, I felt like I was in one long miserable day.  The doctors have assured me that the Ambien is not addictive and will not hurt my babies.
