BEDREST SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

[queeniceone]

i know that being on bedrest is what's best for me and my baby right now. it's due to an incompatant cervix, but man does it suck. i'm so bored and lonely all the time. all my friends and family work so here i sit all by myself all day long. i can't do anything. no house work, no grocery shopping, no cooking, no nothing. well i do get to go to the bathroom. that's it. and i'm only at 29 weeks, if i make it to full term i still have over 2 months to go and my ob has informed me that i'm on bedrest until i deliver. i feel guilty and selfish sometimes cuz i don't always pray that i'll make it to full term just cuz i want to get off bedrest. my muscles are starting to get sore, and i had a cramp in my foot last night and i coulcn't even walk it out. i know i'm complaining too much, but sometimes it's good to vent a little right?

I kinda know how you feel I was only on bedrest for like a week or two but it seemed like forever it was due to what did they call it? I had high blood pressure------I think it started with an E! I can't remember what it was called but they had to put me on this monitor where they tracked the babies heartrate to see if he was okay.  Yea and I was sick and coughing so everytime I'd cough it'd mess up the readings.....But I know how you feel! For the short time I was on it, it sucked bad!!!!
