Everyone on bed rest, let's get a roll call!  

Who are you? 

Why are you on bed rest? 

How long have you been on?  

How far along are you?  

What's your mood like today?

    Pregnant with twins via IVF. Placed on strict bed rest at 20 weeks due to short cervix and had a cerclage put in. I'm currently at 28 w 4 days. Prior to this pregnancy I lost 3 babies, 1 due to early miscarriage and another 2 from ectopic pregnancies which why we had to do IVF. I'll do anything to keep these babies cooking so no complaining here.

    Hi there!

    Why are you on bed rest?
    Modified bed rest due to PIH. Trying to avoid Pree.

    How long have you been on?
    Since week 16.

    How far along are you?
    27 weeks.

    What's your mood like today?
    Pretty good over all. Normal tiredness.

    BP has been under control since they took me off of work. I've had to deal with nasty side effects of the meds. I'm on max dosage & they really made me feel crappy. Baby is coming along well. OB & I are hoping that all continues under control until at least week 37, which is when I previously had to deliver my two kids.

    I have found some amazing resources I wanted to share!  

    https://www.keepemcookin.com/  - Great information for you and your SO. 


    And a book I just read that had me laughing my butt off:
    Beating Bedrest By Angela Bickford  - It's on Amazon and free with Kindle Unlimited.

    On home bedrest since week 23 for shortened cervix and funneling. Now 30 weeks with no measurable cervix, bulging membranes and 3cm dilated. No cerclage. Basically waiting for water to break or labor to start. Mood is ok just worried I will miss signs of labor as I'm a FTM.

    sdudley22 I have shortened cervix too. FTM too. I am nervous about missing the signs as well. We have to do the best we can. Mood today...okay with a side of frustration, but will try to occupy my mind with a book or puzzle. Thinking of everyone.<3

    Why are you on bed rest? Shortened cervix and irritable uterus....I have contractions when I'm resting...but if I move it causes more! Lots of vaginal pain too...ob says baby is pushing down.

    How long have you been on? Couple of days

    How far along are you? 30 wks 3 days

    What's your mood like today? Nervous...with all the contractions it's hard to know when they are concerning and when to go in. So far I'm not dilated so they are more annoying than anything.

    Hi tinymoose. Thinking of you. I have been on modified bed rest since June for shortening cervix. Also dealing with gestational diabetes. 32 weeks today. Take it day by day and any concerns call your ob that is what they are there for <3

    Thanks jkentw! Wow I cannot even fathom being in bed rest that long...I don't know how you've made it through! The next 8 weeks send long enough!

    Thank you tinymoose. I have lost my muscle mass, have the worst aches from being so sedentary - I attribute the gestational diabetes to the not moving, but all for the little one. Goal is to get to 11/12/14 if not further.
