Has anyone been on bed rest?

Question

What for? How far along were you?

Answer 1

LOL....Yes I have been put on bed rest twice! I am 34 weeks with my second child anther boy. Last week I went in for my appt. and told them I had been having tightness on and off so they put me on the stress monitor and noticed that I was having alot of irratability and the doc checked me and noticed that the baby's head is really low but good thing was I havent dialated yet! So I got a steriod shot that day and one the next day and he put me on magnesium pills I have to take 2 every 4 hours! There's a good chance the baby could come early with him being so low! Thats why he gave me the mag to take to stop any false labor that could make me go into the real thing! He's gonna take me off the meds at 36 weeks and he said I could run around the block to have him then If I wanted to...lol. And Until my 36th week I have been put on strict bed rest! 4 years ago I had my first born. At 7 months I went into pre-term labor I dialated 3 centimeters and stayed that way until my 40 weeks. But  I had to stay in the hospital for 2 days with a mag drip to stop my labor and I was put on bed rest from 7 months to my 40 weeks and I was having to take the magnesium pills 4 every 2 hours!...Talk bout fun!...lol.

Answer 2

I was 24 weeks with my daughter and during my ultrasound they discovered I was 3cm dilated so I was sent to the hospital and was there for 5 days.  Was on bed rest when I came home and went back into the hospital about 3 weeks later due to my fluid being low.  So I was on bed rest from 24 weeks until she was born at 39 weeks.  

Answer 3

I was put on it at 9 weeks. Told me stay on it until I seen my doctor. So 3 weeks. It was because I was spotting and they thought it may lead to a m/c. Luckily it didn't it was just the baby "getting a little cozier".
