holy cow....i didnt expect such a rude response. This is my first pregnancy and i didnt quite understand what bed rest was until i read more about it...WHICH WAS AFTER i wrote what ai wrote. Ill put it in other words than...I WISH I WAS ON BEDREST....on a tropical island with hot men, and beautiful non alcolholic bevereages, to be pampered and have someone listen to me and undersand me without being snapped by preditors

pdenney my doctor suggested that i try to breathe into paper bag cause i might be hyperventalating, i did it and it helped some. you may want to try that. he says it lowers ur PH. if you still feel it i would call the doc and tell em what ur feeling cause it may not be normal and they may have to check u out.

Question... This is my first pregnancy. I'm 8wks and i've been on bedrest for 2wks due to a bloodclot in my uterus. I'm currently taking progesterone injections, and I've been having heart palpitations and can't seem to catch my breath. The heart palpitations are something that I normally have, but they are currently more pronounced and bothersome. Has anyone else had this problem?

AMEN girl.I wouldnt wish bedrest on ANYONE.Im only 14 weeks and I have it the rest of my time due to placenta abruption.IT SUX.My husband is deployed and I have a 14 month old.ITS SO HARD. Any lil thing that hurts or feels weird just a lil bit will freak you out so bad too.Thank god they are sending him home soon but Ill still miss him being home finally and missing out on everything else so PLEASE dont wish you were told to go on bedrest.

The prospect of being on bed rest may seem like its all nice and relaxing but trust me it is not something you want!!!! First of all...many women don't have anyone to help them which makes being o bed rest difficult and almost impossible if taking care of an older child. Second, after spending all your time in bed you eventually develop insomnia and cannot sleep. Every time you get out of bed or go to the bathroom you are scared to death your water will break or you'll go into labor when your baby is still too little to survive. Not to mention you miss out on all those things that are so important..like setting up the baby's nursery, having a baby shower, going out to dinner, sitting at the freakin' table to have dinner instead of in bed!!!!! Do I need to go on? Wish for a vacation, wish for your family to take a hike, wish for anything BUT a doctor telling you to stay in bed for you and your child's survival! Sorry, but I'm still on bed rest and it SUCKS!

i wish i was on bed rest...at least someone would be there for me....my boyfriend is annoying and pisses me off..lately he seems to only ever help with laundry and stuff like that if i ask a million times. He sits around and plays video games, ...the house is loud, and i dont get the rest i need. Im going to punch someone out. LOL.....so of course i wish my baby healthy....but i wish i could just ask to go on bed rest and they would let me go....and just stay there...cuz im going literally nuts in this house with ....oh let me count....my boyfriend, his mom, her fiancee, His moms 2 year old, his moms fiancees 13 year old daughter, his moms 18 year old crazy ...loud and RUDE daughter, her boyfriend, Mel, and MIKEE (20 & 25) AHHHHHHHHHHHH HELLLLLLLPPPPPP I WANT RESSSSTTTTTT

I am happy to say the perinatologist has given me permission to go back to my regular ob/gyn after 34 weeks! Which will mean I am off bed rest and a normal prego woman for the last few weeks! I am 31 weeks 3 days. So only 19 more days to go!!! For those of you on bed rest- hang in there! I know it is hard but it will be so worth the wait to hold your healthy baby in your arms!!!!

Shelly~ I'm glad to hear that things are stable. You can do it mama. You've done an amazing job cooking triplets for this long with little complications! Keep baking those babies and everything else will work out. I'll be thinking of you guys!

Lovebelly- I can understand where you're coming from. I have been on bedrest for almost 4mths. I am a very independent person, but when your on bedrest you need a lot of help to get things done. This is my 2nd pregnancy on bedrest. My last pregnancy I didn't follow my Dr's orders and I ended up in the hospital for 4wks until I had my son. It was no fun at all. So try to stay positive, but understand that you will have some good days and some bad ones. It's all for the best health for you and your baby. I wish you the best!

Hi All prego mommies on bedrest! I was just diagnosed with IUGR yesterday at the ripe week of 32. I am on strict bedrest on my left side. I am finding I can't do it! I am trying so hard but it is bad enough I am seriously ADD and obviously have not been on my meds throughout this pregnancy. I have always been one to just run around crazy accomplishing absolutely nothing! I returned from my babymoon in Mexico on Thursday and planned to get started on nursery and preparation, etc. Prior to this 'diagnosis' my doc expected me to have this baby at about 36 weeks due to my last pregnancy, along with my physical size and cervix. That is 4 weeks away, now I am hoping to just make it as long as possible. I have literally done NOTHING! My husband could not be more wonderful about everything and so helpful, but I have literally been researching cribs, bassinets, swings, carriers, strollers, etc for the past 24 hours! I am so indecisive on EVERYTHING and cannot make a decision without seeing and touching these things. We had big plans for tonight and actually gave it all away for my doctor to use with his wife this evening. OMG, I am so depressed! This is nothing compared to the grand scheme of things, I am just really overwhelmed right now! Calgon, take me back to Mexico!!!!!!! Encouragement GREATLY needed!

Hello Everyone~ Well this is my 2nd day on bedrest. I will be here for two weeks then head back to a new dr for another check up. On Wednesday I started bleeding a lot...I am only 17 weeks. An u/s showed a blood clot on the placenta. My dr didn't have a reason this happens but said she has seen it before. On the 24th I go to a specialist. I'm hoping by two weeks the clot will be gone and I can have a 'normal' pregnancy, but if it dosen't I'm in bed for the rest of my 5 months. Everyone has been great to help my husband and I but I reallllly hope this only lasts two weeks!

Welcome McGill! Sorry its under these conditions though...Bedrest is very hard but it does work! Tell yourself that you have great docs that are concerned for you and your baby enough to order you the right treatment! There are alot of us on here with less than perfect pregnancies...we'll make it! Keep us posted on your progress. Take care

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my story, I took a 24 hour urine test on monday took it back tuesday and got put into the hospital for a high level of protien. I stayed for 3 days, got to come home, but on bed rest for now. I have to see my OB 3 times a week now for NST because babies heart rate drops sometimes.I am worried since this is my first baby and I hope we both will be fine. I hope everyone is doing good.
