Partial Previa Pelvic Rest

I've been on pelvic rest for seven weeks now - Dr. said no lifting over 20 pounds, no excercise, lay whenever possible and of course no sex. DH is out of his mind and wasting away at a hastening pace. We've debated over orgasms (I say no. He says yes) but it wasn't mentioned by our doctor. What has pelvic rest been defined to you as?

  • I had a partial previa with DD. No orgasms, no sex. Period.

    God forbid you have a bleed, it is incredibly scary. But baby is usually fine, but it will involve a trip to L&D. I don't want to scare you, but I also wish I had been better prepared for what may happen. The doctor said nonchalantly, "Let us know if you have bleeding." So, I envisioned something like my period and didn't give it much thought. Then I had my first bleed at 27 weeks, and thought my water had broken, it was that much blood. I spent three days in the hospital, and had the second bleed in the hospital. I had seven more bleeds during my pregnancy. And yes, seven more trips to labor and delivery. DD was born at 37 weeks, 6 days, after 18 weeks of pelvic rest, and 11 weeks of bedrest.

    Was it hard? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes.

    Let me know if I can support you in anyway.

  • With my second, I had previa. Yes it was torture to not do anything. I had many sexy dreams and was turning the guys down in them, not because I was married, haha.

    I don't have previa but I have been on pelvic rest since mid may!!! ( almost 4 months!!!!!).  Pelvic rest means no orgasms.  It stinks. My husband has been a trooper but I have been "helping" him out alot.  I am the one who is most frustrated at this point!

  • I'm glad to hear my instincts were correct. I've been having more bleeding today - it's pinkish/red but not very much. I'm about 180 miles from the doctor or I'd go see her. :( t & p our little pumpkin is okay.
