Hello all I was so thrilled to find a forum for others who are experiencing the same 'pain' as I am. I've only been on bed rest for 2 going on 3 weeks and it can be difficult at times.. but so worth it in the end!

3girls-It's good to hear that you are staying positive. I had to stay in the hospital with my last baby for over a month. It can be very challenging at times, but you know what you're ultimate goal is so just stay focused on that. I wish you the best!

I'm on hospital bed rest until I deliver. I'm 24wks, 3 days with twin girls. My husband and I have a 13 month old daughter, born at 28 weeks. I've been here for a week now. It's hard but I know that this is what's best for the babies. My husband brought the pack n play up to the hospital so that our daughter can be with me for several hours everday. It makes bed rest tolerable having my husband and baby here. BTW, the net is restricted at the hospital and I can't access my profile so if anyone wants to e-mail me, please feel free. I'm not doing anything for months!! Ladies, keep yourhead up. This is what's best for your babies and its only temporary!!mary.antoinette@wowway.com

Ruth- Any time! That's what we're all here for!

Thanks for your welcoming responses! Your positivity is so encouraging. I know it won't be easy but your're right, look how far I've come. I wish all the best to you too. We can do it! Chat with you all soon...

Ruth- I agree with Watermelon. If you look at how far you have to go you will never recognize how far you've come. This is my 2nd pregnancy on bedrest and I learned the hard way that you must stay positive and focus on the real reason why you're on bedrest (to get your baby here safe). I won't lie and say it will be easy, but I can say that if you follow your Dr's orders you may get an 'early release'. LOL Well, I'm here for you as well so feel free to send me a message if you have questions or just need to vent. I wish you the very best!

ruth- welcome! All the ladies here are a great support and make bed rest a little more tolerable. I highly recommend Sidelines for ideas on how to stay sane. Also, STOP looking forward at time...start looking at how far you've come! If I can offer any advice or just be someone to listen, message me anytime! I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Hello! I am new to this forum and unfortunately on bed rest. I was put on bed rest 5 weeks ago due to preterm labor and shortening cervix. I am now 26w 1d, DD 7/9. As I'm sure most of you will agree...bed rest stinks! This is my first pregnancy and I never in a million years imagined it to be like this. Anyway, it is comforting to know there are others out ther (although I would not wish this upon anyone). I look forward to keeping my sanity with you all....

You poor thing! What a jerk! I do have to admit I went through a period of time when I thought I ws going to kill my husband...but it was different than what you are describing. HE really needs to step up to the plate and quit being so lazy. Sounds like you may not be able to work like you were and he is going to have to make up the slack. It doesn't sound like he is much help anyway...maybe he needs to be reminded how lucky he is to have you. I'm really sorry though. There is no easy answer. Wish you the best of luck and for you to know you deserve way more than he is giving you.

So i am now 21 weeks this is going to be my 3rd baby i have 2 girls Emily 4 and Lillian will be 3 in June this baby is going to be a boy due august 1st so i have already been told too take 2 weeks off from work then i get the ok to go back ive been working for almost 3 weeks and now ive been told i need to completely stop work and soon i may be going on bed rest this is not my first go around i was on bed rest with my 2nd baby due to placenta previa now this baby is just causing me extreme pain i cant even stand for any amount of time longer than 15 min i feel as if my hips are going to disintegrate into a thousand pieces mostly the right when i am standing and even when im laying down i have to be on my back most of the time but then i of course worry that my baby is not getting enough blood or oxygen or anything because im laying on my back but you know im starting to think all of this is not that bad compared to my mind going crazy i really wish i could just run away sometimes but seeing as how i cant even stand it would be a little hard for me too run lol i have a fiance that is driving me absolutely insane it may just be me i don't know i have nobody else to give me their opinion on it but to start off with he is only working part time maybe 4 hours a night he works for ups so too him it is extremely hard work i guess he works from 4am to 9am and sleeps while im at work and my kids are in school when i get home from work i cook and clean and deal with the kids while he does nothing but get on to the kids bout things they are doing wrong or what not and now that i cant work its almost as if he doesn't even care about how we are going to make it on his little income that he we get weekly i make the majority of money not including all the state benefits im getting for my children he helps around the house maybe 1 day a week only when he knows im really pissed off and im not speaking to him i have to ask him a thousand times to do anything he never comforts me or ask how im feeling and any time i say anything he just thinks im complaining and tries to make it out like he is hurting worse or working harder than i am he is always trying to out do me on everything and if i ask him to rub my legs cuz they are killing me he says he is tired or just ignores me i spend alot nights on the couch just cuz i don't even want to be round him and his smart ass mouth im really starting to think that perhaps the only reason he is with me is because im pregnant i mean damn he gets more sleep than anybody in the house im starting to become very resentful towards him and any time i try to say anything to him he just turns it round and tries to make me feel guilty by saying things like 'im so sorry im such a piece of shit i guess i just shouldn't be with anybody i deserve to be all bye my self ' im starting to wonder why he doesn't get to see his son from his previous g/f i dont know im goin crazy im starting to get paranoid thinking he is seeing somebody while im work and perhaps that's is the reason he is so tired and just not interested in me anymore i don't know can somebody please give me some input to this because i drive my self insane and sorry for babbling i just don't have anybody else to talk to bout this situation

Hello ladies--I haven't been here since October, but I am now back. I have been having contractions and my LO continues to be non-reactive during her NSTs. She looks great during her bio-physical profiles though. My doctor has chosen to give me NSTs twice a week and bio-physical profiles depending on the results. I am on bed rest and two medications to help control contractions. At 33wks, my doctor wants to keep her in for at least another two weeks.

Ali*L - 1058 days ago.
Well, I was off bed rest for one day and started having contractions. Boo. I went to the hospital for a NST and they checked my cervix. Contractions were about every 3-4 minutes, spotting, cervix dialated to one, very soft and bub's head was 'right there'. They sent me home and said if anything changes or my water breaks that I am probably going into labor. Well, that was Wednesday and it is Monday so I think that worked itself out, thank GOD! =) I am still having contractions but not like that and no more spotting. Wish you all luck!

Does anybody on bedrest have trouble walking yet? I'm 33wks and my legs feel so heavy, like they are not even mine anymore.

Singlemomtobe- Thanks for your post. Just a few days ago I was on here complaining about my husband spending time away from home. Knowing your situation I feel like a butt head for saying anything. What I can say is.... I was a single mom for 6yrs. It was not easy, but my son and I made it! I learned quickly to depend on myself, but to accept help if it was offered to me. I surrounded myself with people that were positive, loving and caring. I made a commitment to my son before he was born, while I sat in a hospital bed for 5wks alone.... that I would not let him down. Prayer and meditation helped for me, but you have to find an inner peace that will help you through this rough season in your life. I have been through it so I know. Like completnme said...you are not alone. If you need to talk we're here for you. You can do it! Warm wishes!

Dang singlemomtobe-kudos for you sticking in there,i hate that the storm hits and you have to deal with pregnancy too,but it wouldnt be a testimony without the test right-We are your company-yea we r nly cyberfriends but most ppl on here chat on the phone and IM,We probably cant do much for the dogs,cuz we are 'serving our sentence too' but..i can....hmmm yea i dont know that answer yet,but point being-bedrest fam' and IC fam' which i believe is sooo awesome is here for you missy.so let the other things in life have ur stress but not being lonely k.

SINGLEMOM- I am really sad to hear you are going through such a tough time with your pregnancy. I have my husband and he has been a saint and I still find it terribly difficult sometimes, I can't even imagine what you must be going through! I have a few tips if you want to hear them..just let me know, I'd be happy to share. There are a few support groups, such as Sidelines, that are good for tips and suggestions to help you stay sane. I'm here if you are ever bored or would like someone to talk to. I wish you the best of luck. Thanks for putting your situation in perspective, too. I'm sure I take my help for granted. Hang in there, baby!

I have been n bed rest aka house arrest since Feb 18. I thought being on pelvic rest was bad since November. This is prison. You are not alone. People do not get how bad it is. Your muscles lose tone and everything starts to hurts, your mind goes crazy, acid reflux if you are unlucky like me acts up more more more when you lay down. The only good part you can nap, where pj's and my baby boy kicks more when lay. But to think my high risk pregnancy would really be like this... there was no prep for. My husband and I are divorcing, I will be raising him on my own in every sense. I do not have many people helping me physically now. Friends said they would. Yes phone calls help. But I am alone most of day and sometimes for days. Me and my 3 dogs to care for, one has kidney disease. It is hard and emotionally I want to die sometimes. My mom moved to her retirement house to help. But she is not here much. My house is falling apart. And even if someone came to clean it is not the same as I would do. I will never be prepared for a baby on my own since I cannot prepare before he comes now. I used to say I wanted to sleep when I worked 8-10 hrs.Now I sleep late and stay up late and it is horrible. I feel for you all. I know the daily tears all to well. Everything loses it appeal after a day, week, month. I am 26 weeks now, thank gosh since this when I was told I had to keep him in. I have a cerclage to make it more unfun. Not how I pictured pregnancy. And my advice I have gained ALOT on bedrest so be careful or just embrace. For those who say there is someone at home who helps. Take from me who is alone. You are lucky to have that on bedrest and in pregnancy. Be grateful. It is something people in my place would give anything for some days. Just the company.

Dont get me started on MIL's and their 'insight' on things...myy MIL is not sympatheic at all...if u ask her im on hopital bedrest to be lazy and treated like a princess!! ugh!

Joshs wife - 1067 days ago.
well my husband is finally on his way home.The army let him come home.I still have my placenta abruption and now i have to have a laproscopic sugery to remove my appendix.UHHHH im so tired of bedrest

booandaidansmommy - 1067 days ago.
I just got put on bedrest, at home. Only until my next appointment where my Dr. will reassess, but no out of town travel for me. I told my MIL about this, and she says. 'Oh is this your judgment call or Doctor's orders??' I mean what the heck, I would not wish this on anyone. I'd rather have a complication free pregnancy. I can't believe she said that, as if I would do this to myself.

Mommyof2Kidos - 1067 days ago.
I need to vent..... The last couple of days my husband has been going golfing with his buddies. I get so upset (although I try hard not to show it). The truth is my husband deserves a break. He waits on me hand and foot. He comes home practically every afternoon on his lunch break to check on me and make sure I have something to eat. Lately, I have not been the easiest person to live with. I have never been a jealous person, and I know my husband needs a break but I feel left out because I have to lay here in bed all day. I know he can sense my tension and it's not fair to him. Does anyone have any advice for me? I could really use the help.

Jena- I agree with bedrest...my prego friends envy me and im like we can switch places anytime...they have problem free pregnancies and think i got the easy way out but its the total opposite...if what i said offended u im sorry..

Mommyof2Kidos - 1068 days ago.
Jena- Don't take it personal. Remember we're all hormonal here. Moms that are put on bed rest are envied at times by people that don't quite understand the restrictions we are placed under. I'm sure no one was intentionally trying to be 'rude' in their response, they were just venting. My husband thought it was cool until he saw what it started to do to me mentally. I wish you a healthy pregnancy!
