Bed Rest Here I Come

No, they have not talked about inducing. They feel going off work is the first step before giving me more meds.

You do not need me to tell you that you and the baby are first and foremost, and I KNOW Jory agrees. I hope the time flies and soon your little one is in your arms healthy and happy...you deserve it!

Thanks Samara!

I'm sorry you'r on enforced early maternity leave and bedrest...but am sure you're willing to do what it takes to ensure your baby arrives healthy and safely...for both of you.  Remember...the BP is a threat not just to the baby, but to Traci - whom we love too!

Can you squeeze in a quick trip to the library to stock upon books?  Or trust DH or your family to get you a stack of books, magazines, craft projects, movies, music...things to entertain you?  Go online and create a wish list...then you can even tell them what books etc you want.  If you don't already, learn to crochet and make a baby blanket for him...or cross-stitch a picture to be framed for the wall.  God willing, the time will fly and he'll keep on baking until the timer goes off at a healthy time.

Thanks Holly! I guess it was just as a shock as I just wasn't ready for bed rest (guess you never are).

Sounds like your doc is on top of things! Bedrest can stink, but I used it as a way to catch up on all the movies I wanted to see, annd I made Dh get me the "Learn to Knit" video's from the library, and it was great I taught myself how to knit and had a blanket done before the trips where born. Good luck and take it easy!

Ugh!!!  Sorry to hear that Traci, I know you were hoping to avoid it.  However, the "no cleaning" might be very nice...  Drop me a note, I bet some time in the next couple of weeks I could make a trip up to your place so you have some company.

Debbi

Thanks Debbi! I was hoping to avoid it but guess it is what is best. I am praying it stays down being on bed rest and I don't have to have any more meds.

I hope you and Jeff are doing well and getting all ready for your little girl!!

Sorry to hear that Traci! I would love to be off work, but I would be a horrible bed rest patient! Good luck and get well!
