Bedrest Already!?!

So today we had a little bit of a scare. I woke up at 4am with waves of cramps and back aches. It reminded me all too well of the preterm labor with my son so I panicked. I called the dr first thing this morning and was able to get in. I won't bore you with all the details, but the short version is that my cervix is still closed but too thin. I have been put on modified bedrest and told not to lift more than 5lb (aka my 20 month old DS). This should be interesting….
But on the bright side, my heart rate was so high (145bmp so they couldn't distinguish my hr from baby's) that I got an extra ultrasound. Baby GIRL, Madelyn, willingly showed her goods today and we were able to get a very clear shot!
Anyways, all thoughts, prayers, suggestions, etc would be appreciated for this time of bedrest. The doctor seemed to think that I would be cleared a few weeks after my McKena shots come in. Just hoping that is soon!

They have been working on my shots situation since my first appointment because they knew I would need them. However, insurance is giving them a hard time, dragging their feet and giving them the run around. Not really sure what's going on, but the doctor was filing some medical emergency form today to try to get them on the ball after today's visit. They spoke with them while I was still in the office and the shots are supposed to be in by Monday. The office is going to call me as soon as they come in so I can start them immediately. The doctor was even looking for a spare, but no luck.
@lilredmommac - are they really painful? I mean, at this point I don't care; but I would like to be prepared.
