The Bed Rest Thread (formerly Hospital Stay)

hkom · August 2018

Hey everyone, I'm doing a one-off for this because I don't want to hijack the other threads. It's been a sucky day in hkom-land. At my MFM appointment this morning they found that my cervix has funneled a lot further. Thankfully, it's still closed but they sent me down to triage in L&D to monitor me for a while and picked up some very mild contractions (I can't even feel them). Because I'm in the weird purgatory of the mid-20 weeks they are pumping me full of meds to relax my uterus to hopefully keep anything else from happening. Unfortunately that means I'm going to be in the hospital for the rest of the week. Looks like I'll be passing lots of time on TB!

I'm so sorry you have to go through this! Prayers that they can stop everything from happening and baby stays put for awhile!

gorgeousariel · August 2018

@hkom oh no! I'm so sorry. Hoping they can get it resolved quickly and you can go home!

scaredunprepared · August 2018

@hkom oh no! Better they found it now so they can monitor you and give you meds to hopefully prevent anything else from happening! The best place you can be right now is in the hospital. Sending you lots of hugs!

CecilB93 · August 2018

So sorry you're dealing with this. Glad to hear they're being super proactive though!! Hopefully they get everything resolved quickly and baby stays put at least a little while longer!!

omnommer · August 2018

@hkom I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, but at least they figured this out and can take care of you and baby as you need in this moment. Sending you good thoughts and prayers! Keep us updated with how you are doing!

Jens_Hoes · August 2018

Oh no!! @hkom I'm so sorry!! Hopefully they can calm down what's going on in your ute. Were you able to go home to grab stuff or was it an immediate thing?

kristah2 · August 2018

@hkom so sorry you're in there for the rest of the week. The good news is as long as you're in the hospital you will be monitored super close! Keep us updated!

hoosiermama-2 · August 2018

Geez! I'm grateful that they're taking it seriously and doing what they can to keep everything in check, but so sorry you have to deal with it! I'll be thinking of ya.

PensiveCrayon · August 2018

Big hugs @hkom! Tell your lady bits they need to cooperate and keep that baby cooking as long as possible!

hkom · August 2018

@Jens_Hoes It was immediate. I went straight from MFM to triage to my room. H went home for the afternoon but is bringing me all my stuff later.

runrinserepeat · August 2018

Oh man

I hope baby stays put and you don't lose your mind at the hospital - FX your stay isn't too much longer than this week.

texas_t · August 2018

So many hugs! Prayers that all will work itself out!

maureenmce · August 2018

Oh no @hkom I am so sorry! I'm glad you're being monitored closely and they're doing everything they can to keep you and LO safe, but I'm sure it must be nerve wracking. Sending you lots of love and all my good thoughts! Keep us posted as much as you can. ❤️

mcgeeva · August 2018

I'm sorry that is the worst. Nothing worse than bedrest

Hopefully you get out of there soon with a calm baby in that belly.

katy0990 · August 2018

@hkom I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. However, I am glad that your medical team is on top of it. Fingers crossed for a short stay and a healthy mom and baby.

mag1cbeli3ver · August 2018

@hkom So sorry you're stuck in the hospital, but glad they've been checking you often so they caught it and can take care of it. I hope the week goes quickly for you and everything calms down! FX for you, your H, and of course, for your LO!

ab_canada · August 2018

Big hugs to you @hkom. It's good that they were monitoring you and were able to respond very quickly. Hopefully, they can give you some drugs to help it close. Keep us updated.

erose625 · August 2018

@hkom so sorry you are experiencing this but you are definitely in the right place! I hope everything settles and you get to go home asap. It sounds like now is the time to sign up for Netflix or Hulu and get some new books!

Let us know if you need recommendations!

LLynde5 · August 2018

@hkom I will be thinking of you and baby hkom!

kadeephd · August 2018

Oh no, I'm sorry @hkom! My fingers and toes are triple crossed for you and your baby.

rosebud332 · August 2018

@hkom I’m so sorry!! It must be very scary to be in this situation. I’m hoping hard for you that can get everything under control and get you discharged soon! Keep us updated on how you are.

Hollyyyyy · August 2018

@hkom Oh no! I'm sure an impromptu hospital stay was not what you were expecting when you went in this morning! I'm glad your medical team is being proactive and are doing everything they can to make sure your LO stays put. I hope this week goes by as quickly and seamlessly as possible for you

binxybaby · August 2018

I'm so sorry. That really sucks. It's good that you are getting the care you need though. Hope everything goes well!!

lexidawg · August 2018

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear it has gotten worse and that you have to stay in the hospital but I am SOOO glad that they are taking it seriously!

echo-charlietango · August 2018

@hkom I’m so happy you’re being monitored, but sucks that it’s come to a full week in the hospital! Now you can read all of the books and not vacuum or pick up any dog poop

morgantu · August 2018

Oh no! Just here to chime in with everyone that I'm glad they caught it, you're both ok for now, and you're being monitored. Sending all the good vibes that lo stays put for a long time and does lots of growing! Xoxo

Activebaby · August 2018

@hkom thanks for letting us know how you are doing. Good thoughts and prayers that your body rests and responds to the meds. Thinking of you and hoping you are able to rest. I would imagine that is very challenging to do.

hkom · August 2018

Thanks for all of the kind words, everyone

I'm obviously pretty freaked out and I've never stayed overnight in the hospital before so this has been an experience so far, and the sun isn't even all the way down yet. My meds suck a lot and make me feel like crap, and it's pretty hard to get comfortable with all the tubes and cords sticking to me. The good news is that the smooth muscle relaxer meds seem to be working, and helping to distinguish between actual contractions (which haven't been happening much) and my generally "irritable uterus."

Katzalia · August 2018

@hkom just saw this now. I’m sorry you are having a scary not-fun impromptu hospital stay. Hopefully the meds keep helping and calm things down so baby can cook a liitle more.

Can your husband stay with you tonight? Having company and distraction might help, especially for your first night there. Sending good wishes your way.

tumbleweed-1 · August 2018

Fx your lady parts simmer down and the bed rest is helpful. Hopefully you’ll find things to do to keep you entertained throughout the week too.

hkom · August 2018

@Katzalia Unfortunately he isnt. It just seems like kind of an unnecessary stress to put on him. Plus someone needs to be home at night with the doggo. He was here pretty much all day and will come back tomorrow after a meeting he has to go to. I expect my parents and possibly even my grandparents will come over to hang out at some point as well.

echo-charlietango · August 2018

@hkom I wondered about your doggo! I know that if I were in a hospital bed, my DH would be more stressed if he stayed at the hospital too. Partially because the dogs are bonkers, but also because trying to sleep away from home is always...not restful.

hkom · August 2018

@echo-charlietango Yes! It really doesn't do much good to have him here except make me feel a little better. To me, that's not worth the stress and hassle to try to coordinate everything with him staying here.

orangecrush29 · August 2018

Nooooo!! Ugh, I’m so sorry!!! I’ve totally been there before And it sucks. I’m glad they caught it early enough though! Hopefully they can calm that angry uterus down and stop the funneling. Keep us posted!!!

Katzalia · August 2018

@hkom thinking of you and hoping your night went well. How is everything going? ❤️

countrygirl624 · August 2018

Praying for you girlfriend! Glad they caught what’s happening and I’m sure everything will be okay. Hang in there!!

katy0990 · August 2018

@hkom I hope you got some rest last night!

clbness · August 2018

Thinking of you, @hkom! I hope you got some good rest last night and the rest of your stay is smooth sailing!

Jens_Hoes · August 2018

@hkom is there anything we can do for you?
TV show recommendations? books? Crafts? Help us help you!

deutschmama · August 2018

@hkom Oh no! I'm so sorry for the stress you're going through. At least they found out before it progressed further, so they could take some quick actions. Will be thinking of you.
