High-Risk Pregnancy

Hospital Bed Rest ???

Anyone else on hospital bed rest? At 17 weeks my water broke with twins and our little girl was stillborn at 17w5d. They were able to stop my labor and I am now 23w5d pregnant with twin B (our little boy). I have been on hospital bed rest since 17 weeks and my doctor wants me to continue until I deliver. Anyone else passing the time while resting in the hospital? How are you passing the time?

  • Im obviously not anymore, but I was for awhile. 

    I played a lot of Candy Crush :)  They also let me take a 30 min wheelchair ride every other day so H would wheel me down to the outside garden deck and let me soak in the sun.  My room had a DVD player and free movies so I did that and read a lot.  My friends would also text me funny stuff and call.  I was in Boston and getting there was tough for people so I didnt have a lot of visitors.  I know it can be lonely. 

    Im sorry you are having to go through this, but you are doing a wonderful thing.

    No experience here, but is there something you like to do or have been wanting to try - scrapbook, knit, read, etc. So sorry for the loss of your little girl. Sending you lots of T&Ps for the rest of your pregnancy. FX that your little man stays snuggled in there. Big ((hugs))

    Edit: I'm usually only on PGAL but am mobile bumping & didn't realize I clicked the wrong board. Must be my fat fingers. :)
