Lots of good thoughts for you. I know bedrest isn't easy, but hopefully it'll keep that baby cooking longer. Plus, you already have a great attitude about it!

Just read your post. Don't apologize at all! Anyone would be feeling anxious in the same situation. I'm glad that things are going ok, and that your LO is doing good in there. Hope they get your BP under control and you can relax a little bit. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way!
Late to this too but T&P to you! Update us on what the doc says. GL today, hope there is another option for you but you've done awesome making it this far if bed rest is the only choice for the remainder.
Doctor came in this morning and is pleased with my overnight BP readings and the few from this morning. BUT, he did say that shows I need to be on bed rest. So bed rest it is!!! When I sit up or move around, my BP rises to about 160s/90-100s, and when I rest and recline, it's at a more stable and "normal" level. Doctor won't know about urinalysis results until tonight, but so far so good. If my levels stay good, I can go home. He's hoping bed rest will give baby at least 2-3 more weeks to cook, but he said it could be 2-3 days. It all depends on my body...and he said to just be prepared either way.
Thankfully, we only have two and a half weeks left of school here in Louisiana, so I won't be missing much. I took care of a lot of end of year paperwork when my BP started to creep, so I don't have much to do. And whatever is left, I can do from home
And my mom said she's conjng this weekend to help. She's going to cook freezer meals and help organize all our baby stuff. She's a God-send! I love my Momma!
Try to take it easy (I know, easier said than done). You've fine a great job keeping your LO cooking. Try to relax and do what you gotta go to keep your LO in. Good luck!
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.
Glad LO is still doing okay! Bed rest kinda sucks, but hey - if it keeps baby cooking a little longer, then it's a must! Glad your mom is coming to help out, too. Support and reminders to relax are both helpful. Here's hoping the down time works its magic for you.
Well, the hospital food was SO GOOD that I decided to stay another night, lol.
I had a BP spike while I was sitting up eating, so Dr. Brown is keeping me another night. Better to be safe than sorry!! Since I've laid back down, it's dropped. Just gives me parameters on what I can and cannot do once I get home. At least I'll know my hard limits. Lol.
