* Friday Bedrest Check-in *

tracint · January 2014

Good morning ladies!!

How did everyone sleep?

Any upcoming appts, updates, or milestones?

QOTD: Which TV shows are you most recently hooked on?
(sorry if this a repeat question

)

tracint · January 2014

I actually stayed up really late last night which I thought would help me sleep later this morning but I was up early so... of course I'll probably just fall asleep at some point during the day.

Our next appt isnt until Thurs so no updates until then. I hope we get to see LO I just want to make sure everything is going alright

Let's see... Wed night I caught the season premiere of Duck Dynasty and despite the controversy I kinda like it... Also I watched some American Idol last night. But I LOVE Rehab Addict on HGTV.

Hi! Can I join?

I'm not "officially" on bedrest but I've sorta put myself on it.

In 26w1d w/ #3 and got a preventative cerclage at 14w. My cervical checks were going really well except on Monday it was 2.64. With #2 I got put in the hospital at 30 w due to a 2.5 measurement and was there for 6 days and on at home BR until 36.4 days. I REALLY want to avoid the hospital so I'm now working from home and trying to do as little as possible so I can stay at home and keep #3 cooking.

I go back in a week and a half. I had a fFN and it was negative so that makes me feel better. My cervix held strong at 1.7ish cm w/ #2 and I ended up being induced (and I didn't even have a cerclage) so I'm trying to stay positive that I will have a FT baby this time too!

@sexyntexy welcome!!
Hopefully #3 stays on the inside for as long as possible!!

Also I have a question about the fFN test. Did your Dr give you the test because of the cervical shortening or was there a combination of reasons? I'd like to ask my Ob about one but I don't want to ask for something unnecessary even though I think it would really help for peace of mind.

She started mine at 25ish weeks because I have a cerclage. She's VERY conservative though.

I'll have to ask about one. My dr seems to be optimistic since we've made it this far (25w2d, today) after having two losses at 21wks but I'm still very nervous about it all. I have a cerclage and I'm on br because they found funneling @19wks so even though there haven't been any changes since then I'd still like the reassurance. Thanks:)

Thank you for keeping the check-in going @tracint! It was so nice having something to do like this when I was on bed rest.

I am off of bed rest now and nesting like a crazy person so my days have been super busy and I've been sleeping like a baby!

No big milestones. Today I am 39w4d...only a few days from my due date! My doctor is talking induction...complete opposite of what we have been working for over these past few months. If I make it to my appointment on Monday we will set a date. I'll keep you all updated.

When I was on bed rest I did a lot of junk tv...Real Housewives of whatever city was on and talk shows. Just silly stuff to distract my mind. I haven't been watching much lately.

tracint · January 2014

@JandM524 congrats on making it to full term!!! You're an inspiration:) Nest away and keep us updated. Best wishes.

JandM524 · January 2014

Thank you, @tracint! I will be thinking of you and the rest of the bed resters. An update will be coming soon either way you'd think!

Hey ladies! I slept ok last night. The last week or two my sleep has been getting a lot worse - I am waking up more and it's hard to roll over, etc. I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better though :-/ I have an OB appt Wednesday and MFM on Thursday, but nothing until then. Off topic, but my 3y/o DD just started gymnastics today (or "elastics", as she calls it) and she LOVED it and it was so fun watching her. I highly recommend it if there's a facility in your area! Anyway, no new shows really. @tracint I caught a few episodes of Rehab Addict and I like it! We still rent for now, but it's fun to see the transformations. Congrats @jandm524! What a huge accomplishment- and gives me some hope too!

Eta: I'm posting from my iPad which apparently is not showing the paragraphs. Sorry for the wall of text!

New here! I'm officially on bed rest until further notice due to short cervix (13mm) and history of PTL. Hopefully it'll be a nice long (very long) boring wait.

I slept as usual for me on bed rest- I have a hard time drifting off so I nap off and on all day/night. Not ideal, but doesn't do any real harm either.

Appointments were yesterday/today. Yesterday the OB put me on bed rest. Today was just another P17 home visit. Nothing fancy. Next week is just a P17 visit. But! Tomorrow my SIL and BFF are coming over to paint the nursery. I wish I could participate, but I'm so so glad that it'll finally get started.

Today was rough though- something about lunch strongly disagreed with me and there was a mad dash out of bed to throw up. Followed by two contractions before I finally got back to the bed, lying on my side. DH has promised to bring me a bucket later tonight (he has to find it out in the garage) so I can at least eliminate the running part if it happens again. Not a promising start to bed rest though

TV shows- I'm working my way through Dexter on Netflix. In season 5. We don't have a TV set up to receive channels so its just me and Netflix and my iPad.

How is baby girl kneenah? STILL no baby over here. Tomorrow we set the induction date. Reallllly want to go before it comes to that but my doc said if I do have to be induced that it will go quick because my cervix is ready. I hope all is well with you! Hopefully I'll have an update soon.
