anyone stuck on bed rest?

[janeller87]

I went to my high risk doctor on February 19th 2015 for my follow up after cerclage.  My stitch is the only thing keeping him in my belly. I was placed in the hospital right away. No pain bleeding or contractions. So now I'm stuck at the hospital on bed rest bored and going crazy. Anyone in the same or similar boat?

I have been on "home" rest since 26wks, currently 33+2. I was very very sick with pylonefritis, the flu and pneumonia all at once and hospitalized for 9 days b.c of it. After I finally got to come home and 2 wks of being home I went back to work for 1 day and my immune system was so weak still that I got rehospitalize for severe bronchitis. It was then that my drs decided my system is so compromised that I can't be out on the public. I literally leave my house for drs apts now and that's it. At least I can move about my house and not stuck on bed, but it's still pretty miserable being stuck here alone. I went out a cpl wks ago for my baby shower and being with 30 ppl for 3hrs I was sick the next day with the stomach bug and a fever for 4 days. I can't afford to keep getting sick or I will eventually compromise my baby's health. So in these 4 walls it is....hopefully he wants to make an early appearance for me! Lol. Starting to get cabin fever

Im in the same boat. I'm 25 weeks and have been on bedrest since 20weeks due to a short  cervix  and getting  a  cerclage. Fortunately I'm  able  to work from  home, so that helps  break  up the day. It'll  be worth it in the end!

I'm only 23 and 4 days. I've gotten steroid shots to help develop his lungs. I've been off work since I was 20 weeks when my cervix was 1.2 at my high risk appt. Now it's .9. I might get to go home on Thursday if my cervix is still .9. And I hope it is. I'd rather be in the comfort of my ow bed and house.

I'm on bedrest at the moment, thankfully at home and not in the hospital, have been down for a week now. I'm only 22 weeks and have a nasty respiratory infection that nearly became pneumonia before receding a bit. I've pulled a few abdominal muscles from coughing so much and the thought of going to work and walking a few miles a shift, pushing a loaded down med cart and bending and lifting and trying not to cough all over patients who are already compromised... I'm glad they want me to stay home and rest. I am bored but binge watching TV shows on Netflix is keeping me sane and feeling the little one kicking me like crazy keeps me from feeling too bad. It's hard because I have a little boy who's almost 4 who wants me to get up and play with him and I can't. But he's in preschool three days a week so that's a bit of a break. My husband has been an awesome help but we're both hoping I feel better soon and can get back on my feet.
