Welcome to bedrest. Population: me.

Well, it’s official. I’ve joined the ranks of the bedresting (bedresters?). Sorta. Nothing major has happened, and I’m still allowed up a bit (I was allowed to keep two already-scheduled meetings today, in fact, hence the “sorta”). And thankfully, I’m still allowed to go to the breastfeeding class tomorrow night, and the quickie childbirth class next week. Unfortunately, I’m also being allowed forced to take the 3 hour glucose tolerance test tomorrow. Oh the fun.

I suspected this would happen, I just thought I’d have a few more weeks to wrap things up at work. And home. And psych myself up for it (or wind down, or something). So this takes a bit of adjusting.

More after I process it all.

  1. Ugh, I'm sorry. I spent a month on bedrest during my last pregnancy and it sucked. A lot. Even more so because it didn't help (of course nothing would have, so they tortured me for nothing). Hang in there.

  4. Bedrest sucks. I am home most days and have a fairly flex schedule. Email me if you get bored and want to 'chat.'

  5. Is this perm bed rest or temp? I'm hoping that your bed rest can be done all at home and the only hospital visit is the one to deliver...but not for a while yet, please.

  6. I hope you are spared from the "I'd love to be on bedrest!" brigade, like it's fun or something.
