Glad to know it can help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-316013 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:20:43 +0000 winniebee 316013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kayakgirl73: Based on my experience, bed rest does help your cervix not shorten further.</p> <p>Good luck to you ladies...bedrest is a hard thing to do and I wish you all the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-316011 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:19:22 +0000 kayakgirl73 316011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm now on bedrest at home for at least the next week. I went for a routine old lady baby weight check and they found my cervix had shorten a lot in the last month to the bottom of normal. So I'm on bedrest for a week at least. Off to research whether bed rest helps this or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-312712 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:32:22 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 312712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*BUMP* Anyone else on bedrest right now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-150614 Mon, 07 May 2012 13:11:31 +0000 Ms.SK 150614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee I am hanging in, thanks for checking. I snuck a pedi in last week, crazy how human you feel doing normal things. I need to do the 3 hour glucose test and get an iron infusion plus physical therapy so it will be a busy week. At least I won't be bored. </p> <p>I am so happy you made it off bed rest, gives me some hope. Keep posting your outings so I can look forward to them - lol. Have fun and happy early bay to your hubby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-150263 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:38:20 +0000 winniebee 150263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.SK: Hey there, just checking in with you to see how you are holding up? I'm now 37+1 and started adding in activity over the weekend. It was a long 6.5 weeks..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-134126 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:14:06 +0000 winniebee 134126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.SK: Another week down is right. Glad to see you are still cooking those babes! Have you read the book "Bedrest?" I loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132516 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:55:56 +0000 Ms.SK 132516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee thanks for checking. Like u I have a good day then a bad day. My sciatic is getting worse boo. But overall I am ok. Saw the midwives this week so that cheered me up. They are awesome. Another week done that makes me happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132479 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:15:37 +0000 MsMini 132479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: So happy for you that you have made it this far, and being off of bed rest is soon to come! Hopefully your LO lets you enjoy the off of best rest time for a little bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132456 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:37:18 +0000 mrs. wagon 132456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: yes! well sort of... the MFA, right next to the Longwood area. So I'm totally near your 'hood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132275 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:59:45 +0000 winniebee 132275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: No, definitely not the same. I'm glad it ended up being the right decision for you guys! DH is convinced that after all this, I'll go past my due date : ) While I would prefer that not to happen, so much better than delivering too early. No brainer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132272 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:57:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 132272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I did tons of work from home. I wrote a paper and did a bunch of administrative stuff... but it wasn't the same as taking care of patients, you know?</p> <p>And our little one was off the chart small, (all the placenta's fault) so it was good that we kept growing her til 40 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132269 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:52:25 +0000 winniebee 132269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Ugh! And I bet you couldn't do any work, right? At least I have that. All in, it will be about 6 weeks for me too. At one point they thought our baby was small, but the last fetal survey said 24th percentile, so OB's not concerned about his size. DH and I probably never were 24th percentile in our whole lives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132266 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:50:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 132266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yeah for 6 weeks. It was awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132264 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:48:39 +0000 winniebee 132264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Thanks! Well, my OB said she thought she would lift my restrictions after my next appointment (36 wks, 2 days)...so I am hoping she doesn't change her mind. I didn't realize that you had been on bedrest with LJ....</p> <p>@lemondrop: Thank you! It's such a relief to be this far along now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132262 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:46:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 132262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost there! You are lucky. They made me stay in bed til almost 40 weeks since LO was so small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132229 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:17:31 +0000 lemondrop 132229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: yay, you are almost there! Good work keeping that little one cooking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132222 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:10:49 +0000 winniebee 132222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Yesss! PS do you work downtown? I forget! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132216 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:08:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 132216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: oh winniebee you have made it so far!! If you get to the point where restrictions are lifted we are SO HAVING A MEETUP!!! We'll go have coffee!!! Somewhere close by both your house and the hospital. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-132215 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:07:19 +0000 winniebee 132215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.SK: How is your bedrest going??</p> <p>Any other bedresters out there?</p> <p>I have just over a week of this left (supposedly)....almost 35 weeks now. Yahoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-118213 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:41:53 +0000 heffalump 118213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yay, glad you and the baby are doing well! I'm no longer confined to the couch. the doctor ok'ed me for picking up LO. I just can't pick her up from the ground, bend over, or have any sudden movements. So I still need help, but at least I get to cuddle and play with LO now! Hope you're enjoying your resting time and are able to relax a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-118189 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:27:50 +0000 winniebee 118189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey all! I made it another week since our pre-term labor scare - yahoo! Just 2.5 more weeks to go until 36 weeks, when I liekly will have restrictions lifted. Feeling much more positive now that I'm over halfway done with resting. </p> <p>Hope everyone is doing well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-111360 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:43:44 +0000 heffalump 111360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: That will be nice to have him there for so long! My husband also took a week off, and then worked from home for a week. But I did all the work with LO, he just wanted to be there just in case. One of his coworkers asked him if he does any of the night time wake ups, and he said yes. She was stunned, and said that I should be doing them all because he needed his rest for work. Ummm.... do I not need to be alert to take care of a newborn? And I couldn't nap when she napped, she napped on me! Good thing I wasn't there, I would have punched her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-111357 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:39:49 +0000 winniebee 111357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: He's entering his 5th and final year of residency in June (LO is supposedly due at the end of May....) and will have a much easier load then. He'll get a week off when the baby is born, a week off in July, and a week off in August, too, so that should be nice. I do know that while I'm on maternity leave and he is working I'll be doing most of the nightly wakeups, but when I go back to work, he'll need to do at least some of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-111355 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:35:13 +0000 heffalump 111355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: My dad was in his residency when my brother was born, it made it so hard for my mom! She would always have to be the one to wake up with him because he needed to sleep (I don't get why she didn't need to sleep too!). Hope that he's able to get some time or your have lots of help when the baby comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-111352 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:29:43 +0000 winniebee 111352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: yeah, it kind of sucks. he's in his residency and this week has just been a bad / long week for him. when i was in the hospital, he was able to finagle time off. he was off last weekend and is off this weekend, too, thankfully. the following weekend, i'm on my own and think i need to line up some visitors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread/page/2#post-111346 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:25:35 +0000 heffalump 111346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Oh wow that must be tough to have your husband gone all day. Thank goodness for friends and family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread#post-111308 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:02:42 +0000 heffalump 111308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Lol, I won a latchook thing that was already made at a temple thing one year. It was a teddy bear and I hung it in my room. I think they could be cute for kids rooms... and since I have a couple of pregnant friends maybe I'll try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread#post-111259 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:56:30 +0000 mrs. wagon 111259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: latchhook is extremely easy! the results are also a little hokey but would be perfect for a kids' rug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bed-rest-support-thread#post-111233 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:24:31 +0000 heffalump 111233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: ive never tried latchhook, is it just as easy? I've never done anything for framing. Just bibs, baby blanket, and apron. Its so easy and mindless, but you get great results! </p>
