Bedrest.... :(

Well what i dreaded this whole pregnancy
has come. Bed rest... for the rest of the
pregnancy. My last day was the 20th, but
that still puts us behind on money for two
weeks. I have to use my vacation sooner
than expected. I just hope we can make it
by money wise  Oh well i guess i
get to start my maternity leave early. I'm
really not sad about it lol, just about
the money. I go in monday to check my BP
again, and if it stays high for another
week, or worse they will just induce me.
*sigh* what am i going to do with myself
in this house for 2 weeks!?!?!? lol better
get some good books

Do you crochet? Knit? Draw? Paint? I think
I'd find some little crafty things to keep
my hands busy 
Books are good. So are movies. If you have
some friends who can come by for lunch in
the middle of the day to break up the
monotony, that would be GREAT!

My doctor threatened me with bed rest a
couple times while I was pregnant,
thankfully it never came to that. Do you
have a pogo account? That's what I'd be
doing!

I was on bedrest for 4 weeks with Geneva.
It sucked. I did some paperwork I could
take home with me from work to get a
little extra income while I was just lying
there. The other thing is watch moves and
sleep as much as possible. Keep your feet
up. Have friends visit you during the day
so that you can have some interaction.
Get your computer moved to your bedside
and chat with us!

I know how you feel. Be glad that you are
as far along as you are. I am only 31
weeks and I'm on bedrest indefinitely
right now. I'm allowed to like go out to
eat if I'm feeling well. If I feel bad
though I'm only allowed up for water and
the bathroom. In the end it will be worth
it though, because my little one
definitely needs to bake a little longer.
How far along are you now?

tomorrow lol. I've been looking forward to
this for 9 months. And my little girl is
the flower girl so i would really like to
be there to watch her. So far so good.
Just been watching some tv. Nothing good

bedrest? i felt fine and i still wasn't
allowed to get off the couch for anything.

uneventful 3rd trimester this time.

I'm only allowed to go out if I'm not
actively having problems. He tries not to
limit you too much. It took going in to
L&D 3 times having contractions
stopped to even be put on bedrest. That
was all with him knowing that I was
dilating. Don't ask me. I'm just doing
what the doc told me. I went to eat with
my mom today but came right home and got
back in bed. Even though I'm feeling okay
I'm not very brave. I was worried but
figured my doc knows best.

aww, bed rest doesn't sound like much fun.
Tho I wouldn't mind it for a day or 2
myself!
Do you send Christmas cards to family and
friends? if so maybe you could do those
while resting? Or as you said, stock up on
some good books. Crafts may be an idea.
Or....sit on a chair in front of a "junk
drawer" (don't we all have these? I know
I've got one...maybe 2) and sort it out?
Good luck

My mom was on bedrest with me beginning in
early April 1991. I wasn't born until June
13th. 21 (? I can't count!) days before my
July 4th due date, mind you.
And this was a time before laptops and
internet and cable/sattelite with more
channels than you have bones in your body.
I can't even imagine having to do that!
