put on bedrest :(

So the other day i posted i wasn't sure if i was getting really bad braxton hicks or if i was in early labour...turns out im not in labour bub is sitting on my nerves sending pains through my vagina and into my groin. it is so painful I've been put on bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy (thankfully only 2 more weeks to go). My partner has had to take carers leave from work to watch our 4yo and 2yo. i can't wait for baby to be Here the pain is unbearable and doctor said it will only get worse the further down bub pushes. kinda wish i would have her early. i know 2wks doesn't sound far away but 5 mins with this pain is agonizing. im always in tears. has anyone ever experienced this before?? I feel so useless and getting depressed. i wish the drs could do something, anything to help me... lying down does nothing :'(

Oh wow i definitely put my hands down to u, i have so much more appreciation for women put on bedrest. here i am complaining about 2 weeks and ur only 29wks. hope bub stays in there longer for u. the static nerve is the same nerve my bub is sitting on. I've been getting the pain on and off for a few weeks but in the last 3 days the pain and time it lasts and how often has increased ridiculously. i was up nearly all night in tears begging my partner to help it stop (which i know he cant but i just need something) Dr said it will get worse the closer i get and im at the point i feel like getting an ambulance to the hospital and demanding they put me through as an emergency csection. normally i would be having it in a few days but the hospital was booked out so im scheduled only 3 days before my due date

Im on bedrest too at 29 weeks. But mines because of preterm labor and i have contractions all the time, plus im already beginning to dilate and im 60% effaced. Sorry your in pain, my baby recently settled down in my pelvis and it feels like he weights 8 pounds already lol and he pinches my sciatic nerve all the time, it ***** but cant do anything bout it:/
