Monday bed rest check in

Roses87 · December 2013

Good morning ladies!

How did everyone sleep?

Milestones, appts, updates?

Qotd: Did anyone get snow this weekend? How much?

Roses87 · December 2013

I slept pretty good. I always end up waking up when dh gets up and have trouble falling back to sleep.

See my dr again today! I feel like I live there. Although I saw her partner Friday because she got pulled to a delivery. Hopefully baby cooperates on the monitor today. Although Iwill be there during a time that I assume is Its sleepy time because that's when I don't feel a great amount of movement. We will see though.

There was light snow showers that didn't stick yesterday. When I used the bathroom a bit ago by dh said we got snow during the night and that his car was covered. I am assuming we probably got an inch or so? We will see when I leave I'm a couple hours.

Gm ladies ! I had a appt today but had to cancel due to the weather, we got 8 inches of snow. No biggie , I'm doing ok I'm 31 weeks and 1 day . The baby moves so much n she is very strong that it hurts me sometimes. I don't really sleep too well n when I turn from one side to the other it hurts . At 36 weeks I'll have the stitch removed n I'm scared bc I know I'm not making too long after that . The longest I've ever carried was 35 weeks even with the p17 n the cerclage

Good morning!

I didn't sleep great last night, I think it's because I was so excited to hit my milestone this morning...

34 weeks today!!

My doctor was worried about making it to 24 weeks, once I hit 24 she said I 'would be lucky' to hit 27 weeks..but here I am! I truly think that bed rest has made all the difference. I have been extremely strict with it...heading into week 15 of it shows, I am so incredibly weak.

Has anyone received physical therapy on bed rest? I am worried about being so weak and failing at a VBAC because of my lack of strength/endurance.

We had a light dusting of snow, just enough to make it look pretty!

@jandm524 congratulations on 34 weeks!!
So exciting. Now baby has a less chance of spending much time in the nicu!

Morning all! Slept fine, but nothing to write home about! I see my MFM today, so hopefully that will give me a better idea about when I'll go home. I'm wondering if she will want me to stay until I deliver since I've had several bouts of contractions. I feel like I may go within a week or so. But everything has been so unpredictable up until now, no one really knows! I

We got a little dusting last night, but nothing major. So far this is "storm" 2 they've hyped up, and all for nothing! Typical ;-)

(Ex-bed rested lurking here!) @jandm524- congrats on 34w! I had DD at 34+2 and she only spent 6 days in NICU- and only for monitoring. I also swear bed rest can work! Good luck- hope you make it even longer!! @morgandegan- hope they let you go home. I remember asking with about 8-10 days before my CS and the nurses and doctors laughed at me. It was sad!

Congrats JandM for 34 weeks. I did not sleep good:/. Had my MFM appt....it went okay i guess...im back on strict bedrest cause she thinks im dilated at 3 she was worried about the cerclage being in, but there was no tension on the cerclage so thats a plus. She wants to take out the pessary next week if all goes well and nothing changes. Then i had my NST..... and he wAs active halfway thru and then was going to sleep....so they called it non reactive...its like hes being penalized for sleeping....but everything else was 8/10 so she said not worried about it..... Then i got taken off the glyburide...and just continuing with diet, and she said that the us tech said that my placenta showed some calcfication...something they usually see in GD/preeclampsia...and off course shes like your case is sooo weird cause its like i have GD but i dont have it really, and i have preclampsia but not really....this pregnancy although enjoyable has been a crazy journey...i cant wait til actually i can til hes in my arms and okay...

@bossyfnp- My LO have been sleepy too!!! But it always isnt too active in the late morning and thats when my last two nsts have been. So they have done a bpp the past two times and it has been fine. I feel it move all the time. I have been doing kick counts on occasion during the day and it takes no time to get to ten. They have me make my next appt for the afternoon so hopefully it will be more reactive. So i have a nst monday and a ultrasound monday. These babies are STRESSFUL!! I will be happy when its on the outside, healthy and in my arms!
