friday bedrest checkin

Roses87 · November 2013

Good morning ladies! Happy Friday!

How did everyone sleep?

Milestones, appt, updates?

qotd: What kind of car do you drive? Do you like it?

I slept good last night.

Had my weekly nst and appt. Baby was going crazy on the monitor. Belly was measuring right on!

I drive I focus. I do like it, it's been a good car although my hubby and I are looking to sell one of our cars and probably leasing a cross over our suv. We will see, we will wait till I am off bedrest because I want to pick out the car too.

@roses: I'm glad your appointments went well!

@mrssturm: I hope things have calmed down and you're comfortable now!

My hubby had to leave early for work at 4 am so I have been up since then. Today I have my weekly p17 shot so I will be able to get out of the house for a bit. Today also marks 80 days on bed rest!! I am into my 12th week. Sometimes it feels like forever and sometimes it seems to have flown by.

I drive a Jeep Commander. Love it!

Slept really well last night! Even after getting a steroid shot yesterday! Had an appt yesterday to get BP checked and it had gone down some ... 140 over 80! Not bad!

I drive a Hyundai Tucson... And I LOVE it! Not a bad thing to say about it!

Slept okay last night. My arm is really sore from the Tdap shot I got earlier this week. Excited and nervous for my OB appointment on Monday to see if there are any changes.

I drive a camry - love the camry, but it's getting older and with the baby coming, we just can't afford a new car right now, maybe in 2 years before we have a 2nd baby.

Hi there! New to the board; been on bed rest for 9 weeks (currently 32 weeks 4 days).

Slept not so great. My pubic symphysis diastasis is beginning to rear its ugly head and I have stabbing pain in my hips. :-\

I got my weekly 17-p shot today (via home health nurse). I have a stable cervical length, which is awesome, my cerclage is holding steady, and my son is currently measuring 3-4 weeks ahead of the mean (big boy).

Hubby and I currently share a Suzuki Reno, but we're thinking about getting a minivan as we're having baby #2 and need the space badly. We like our current car, but it is just too small.

welcome @shannonandwill!! Is your cerclage a preventative or a rescue? So happy cervix and baby looks good!!

ShannonAndWill · November 2013

Thank you, @Roses87!! It was a rescue (after I begged for a preventative one) placed at 23 weeks 5 days!!! My cervical length was not a problem with my first son (I had a LEEP several years ago) at 24 weeks, but it shortened significantly (~3.4 cm to <0.5 cm between 24 and 33 weeks) after that and I did end up going into pre-term labor at 33 weeks and delivering him at 36 weeks.

This pregnancy, the cervical changes started MUCH sooner and despite my demanding a preventative cerclage, my doctor refused to do one because I held steady at 2.6 cm for the longest time; however, I had such a bad feeling about it because I didn't have cervical changes at all in the first 24 weeks the previous pregnancy. This time around, I went from 3.6 cm to 1.7 cm from 17 weeks to 23 weeks. When it dropped to 1.7 cm, I had my cerclage placed the next day.

I will be getting a preventative one next time!!!
