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?

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.
