Hey everyone. I just got back from the Dr's office for my 32 weeks appt and I am pissed. I am ok and the baby is ok for now...but I was threatened with bedrest and meds. if I don't "slow down". I have been having a lot of contractions, pain and pressure and the baby has dropped already. My back pain has moved to the bottom of my back which the Dr. said he did not like...NICE. My blood pressure was 120/70---which I think is good and I have gained 14 lbs. total so far. He said that the contractions and pressure are a sign I am not off my feet enough and if the contractions increase or don't stop I have to get on the moniter at the hospital (like I did not already know that) I would like to know how I am supposed to take care of my children ( 6 yrs. and 19 months) and still be off my feet and "take it easy". I am definately gonna revise the Christmas running around ( which I am sure means pissed off relatives because they want to see my children...)----( and cut back on stuff at home, but I have to be able to take care of my children...I just need to get to 37 weeks and then they wont threaten me--it will be ok for him to come. Well--I hope everyone else is having a smoother time than I am...throw a few prayers my way that the contrations STOP and I make it to 37 weeks. This sucks. I am sorry to sound so grouchy and glum...I hope everyone else is having a good week, and a I hope you all have a great and healthy Christmas.

Hi Tanya....
I've been on bedrest since Sept 2nd, and it seriously sucks. I understand that we'd all do anything for our babies, but the doctors act like somehow life will just magically stop because we are pregnant. Sadly, it doesn't seem to cooperate that way! Hopefully you'll be able to just scale some things back a little and that will help....anything short of bed rest. It sounds nice at first, gets very old very fast! Good luck, I'll keep you and your boy in my prayers. :)

Hi Tanya! I'm SO sorry to hear about the doctor's appointment. That just really sucks! And to be threatened with bedrest or a hospital stay during the busiest time of year is NOT good news. How is your husband dealing with it all? Understanding, I hope? When do you go to the doctor next to get cleared from this BS?

with the weather we have been having you should stay at home inside. your husband is going to have to help with the house chores. you can fold laundry while sitting on the couch. he can get the dishes and make supper. i have been so lazy since i have been preg. i am now behind on laundry and struggle with the rest. i am starting to get my energy back so that is what i have been missing. you can't get away much from taking care of your kids. do as much as you can from the couch or bed. they can do a lot on their own. my girls get dressed and brush their teeth by themselves. i make breakfast the my oldest gets her school stuff together and her jacket on. i would be in heaven if they told me i have to slow down. lol!!! i am going to work a few days next month to help pay for felicity's birthday party. this is her last party with her friends from daycare so i want it to be nice. it is build a bear and it is pricey so i have to like 7-8days to pay for it and put some aside for when i have the baby. well i must go ethan is sick and grumpy. i will keep you in my prayers. tell your relatives to come visit at your house. take it easy.

You better take care of yourself. Kyle tried coming at 32 weeks. T was a toddler at the time. It was very hard. See if maybe your family can come see you. Maybe you can get them to come take turns helping out.

sorry to hear things are going this way for you. i agree, you have to take care of your kids but at the same time you need to rest and thats tough. i have a history of migraines,and when prego with seth i got them really bad and couldnt take my meds. i had asked the doc i was first seeing, telling her that they hurt so bad and i end up in bed for 2-3 days because im miserable, life stops for me but i have 3 kids to take care of. she said there was nothing she could do and for me to just continue laying in bed til it goes away. wtf? i told her i cannot do that, i can just leave my kids to fend for themselves all the time, which they could but still. i was not going to waste time and not do daily things. i found another doc who was sensitive and understood and told me that with my history, i didnt need to suffer and lay around for days..so she got me mild meds that helped..i know it doesnt relate to you but in a sense i know how you feel. its important you rest and take care of your kids at the same time..and try not to worry about disgruntled family members either, because you need to keep that little one in as long as possible. they should understand that. i said a prayer and hope it gets better for you. (((hugs))) and a merry christmas to you and your family
