Hello ladies. This post will replace the daily bedrest check-in's until someone is available to take over the check-in's on a daily basis again.
So, if you have any updates, questions, want to vent, or want to connect with other moms on bedrest please use this post to do those things.
If there's anyone out there who'd like to continue posting the daily BR check-in's please feel free to begin doing so at any time.
Best wishes br mommas!!
Re: *** Bedrest Check-in ***
It was a long long bedrest experience for my dh and I. The only thing that kept me in bed was knowing that I was doing what was best for our LO. Even though my OB had mixed feelings about br (no "scientific proof" that br actually works) he knew that for my own peace of mind I needed to try everything I possibly could to keep our baby growing on the inside for as long as possible.
We'll be 37weeks tomorrow (started br @19w) and we are so excited that we could be holding our little girl in our arms in just a few days... if not this week then definitely next because I'll be induced next Wed if she doesn't make an appearance soon.

BFP#3 8/19/13 Another boy! 17P, modified bedrest and Nifedipine helped us have a termie! DS2 born 4/19/14 at 38w5d.
I'm still waiting... I've had a few "real deal" contractions but nothing in a regular pattern. I'm still having Braxton Hicks like crazy though and I've only lost small pieces of my mucous plug...womp womp.
The Dr did schedule us for induction next Wednesday though. My bp has continued to get slightly higher every appointment and the swelling is still ridiculous (no protein in the urine though so yeah! for that). I'm still hoping that baby girl will make an appearance sometime this weekend... I'd like to avoid induction if possible.
I would've been due for my 17p injection this morning, so I'm keeping my fx that the absence of the progesterone will kick start something. I'm soooooo ready!!
Hope all you lovely br mommas are doing well. Hang in there:)

I hope all you br moms are doing well. Stay positive, I know it's not easy, but being where we are today I have zero regrets about sticking to the bedrest. Hang in there ladies.

DS #1 born January 2010. DS #2 due June 2014.
After seeing my MFM on Monday, I was diagnosed with IUGR. So that was a bit unnerving, the baby has been fine up until now, and the bed rest has only been for my own health. I wasn't expecting the added stress of something being wrong with my baby too.
