Good news, my fluids are already increased
So at my appointment today, the doctor said my fluid levels are up considerably since last week! I am way excited, it'ss great to know this bedrest is already doing the baby some good, even after just a week.
I wanted to say thanks so much to all you ladies, your encouraging words help more than you can know!!

Woo Hoo! That is awsome! I am so glad that things are looking up for you and the bed rest is helping
awesome news! do they recommend you drink more fluids too to increase fluid? I am VERY happy to hear this news. Looks like taking it easy is JUST what you need. You can even take advantage of the time by doing all your registry stuff online instead of in the store, read articles and look for good baby deals.
HOORAY for you!
HOORAY for you!
That is good! Always better to have something to do, especially making tons and tons of blankets! Maybe you could even make a giant blanket for like a twin sized bed hehehe! =) I'm glad you have something to do! Keep us posted! Hopefully baby's tummy and head will grow and be measuring good so you don't have to stay on bedrest! =)
well that's good news. I hope you get even better news at your ultrasounds and aren't on strict bedrest for the rest of the time
Well I wish it was all fixed, but the fluid was only half of the reason I got put on bedrest.The baby's head and tummy are also measuring small, and since I have chronic high blood pressure, they think it could be because of a lack of circulation. So I am for sure on bed rest for the rest of the month, I have another ultrasound on the 23rd to measure the baby again, and they will decide then whether I will have to stay on bedrest.
Ashie - I actually got a book to teach myself how to crochet, so hopefully that will go well. I will be able to make her tons of blankets by the time she is born if I get stuck here for the next 14 weeks!! :)

That is good that it only took a week of bedrest for you! I would go NUTS if I had to stay in bed longer than that...a week is a long time when you are just laying around I am sure! I am glad they caught it early where you could fix it so easily!
Hey, I am sorry your having to be on bedrest, but obviously it's for a good reason! Are they going to take you off bedrest at all, or they keeping you on it? Well, what helped me when I was in and out of the hospital with my last pregnancy was reading, and getting extra rest (that helped incredibly) But I think I read over 50 books in a month! =) Or maybe take up making a blanket by crochet! I hope everything goes well for you and your little baby!
Amy, I just was getting a regular ultrasound and they noticed it, along with the baby measuring small, that is when they put me on bedrest. Good to know that only after a week it is already getting better though :)
Good to hear! How did you know your fluids were low to begin with??? What are the symptoms?
