Bedrest community?

does anyone know if there is a bedrest community on here? i've searched but haven't been able to find one. i'm definitely going to need some support/community to get through this.

i'm still suffering with daily contractions, and they have been stronger and even painful some days. i've been diagnosed with 'irritable uterus' which means this could very likely be how the remainder of my pregnancy will be. it causes an awful lot of worry and stress, and also does put you at an increased risk of preterm labour. the only treatment is bedrest and monitoring, and going to labour and delivery for checks when i have particularly bad day.

Hey Ladies, thanks for sharing your experiences. :) Between the worry or preterm labour and the boredom/frustration I am slowly learning to deal.

Clysta, do you know how to start a user group? I'm thinking I'd like to do so.

I'm on bed rest now.. (15w4d) because the placenta is low and I've been bleeding going on 2 weeks. My husband and parents have been awesome in helping me rest. Even though staying in bed all the time gets to be very lonely I know its the best thing for the baby right now.  Best wishes!

I know how you feel I was on bedrest for twenty weeks with my last pregnancy.  I was put on bedrest at 20 wks due to cervical funneling and shortening. I went literally stir crazy. I would have liked a bedrest community on here but I have to admitt all the ladies on here were helpful and patient with listening to me and coming on medhelp was good way to pass the time hopefully things go well for u good luck
