Amy Picardi Moore I am glad to find this place, where others are in my situation. I am 33yrs old and am 32 weeks along with full placenta previa. I have 3 other children 11,8,7 and it's so hard being away from them for so long. I have been in the hospital for 8 days already and have many more to go. because of where they are keeping me ...I am only allowed 2 visiters and they can't be switched off with others and my children are not allowed to visit the hospital at all. So I am pretty lonely...
Shannon Hi ladies! Just a short intro. I am 32 yrs old and 20 weeks pregnant. This is my 4th pregnancy. My husband and I have a handsome 12 yr old boy and a beautiful 16 month old daughter. We also have a 2 yr old angel in Heaven. I am now on bedrest for the duration of my pregnancy. Pregnancy induced hypertension, incompeten...t cervix (I have a cerclage in place) and have been having frequent dizzy / fainting spells. Hope to find some great support here!! I spent a majority of my last pregnancy on bedrest so I know what to expect..doesn't make it any easier though!

Hey Bedrest Mamas! Found an article today that offers tips on surviving bedrest. Most of us are probably already doing these things, but if you need some ideas, check it out: http://www.parents.com/pregnancy/my-life
Kristi Just wanted to say how thankful I am for all the amazing ladies who share their struggles and hopes with each other here. My local friends have brought me meals and helped with my boys, but YOU ladies understand my frustrations, fears, successes, and hopes. What a blessing to be a part of this community. Truly an an...swer to my prayers! Praying that all of you have a wonderful new year as we count our blessings (how far along we are) and count down to the birth of our children!
Yaffa I so far made it to 33 weeks.. I am so happy .. I did it without any medication ( because I cant have any) and I am holding a 2cm and 80% effaced .. here is hoping to hold it together for a few more weeks :)
Jennifer Hello! This looks like a great group! I am 22 6/7 weeks pregnant with twins, and I've been on hospital bed rest with pre-term labor and a short and dynamic cervix, for 2 weeks. I will probably be in the hospital for the duration. Anybody else like me? Or with an encouraging story to share?
Demetria 33 weeks, 4 days today. So happy to have made it this far...it seemed so distant in September when preterm labor began. Been having contractions on and off the last few days despite the terb. Hoping to make it a few more weeks so baby will not be in the NICU. However, each day that goes by now is one less day she'l...l have to spend there. Keep those babies growing, ladies!!! :)

Leslie Greenberg Loaiza Sorry I haven't posted to anyone in a while. I've been kind of depressed being on bedrest and worrying. Everything is stable with me, saw the Peri last week and my cervix is still long without funneling, both babies are measuring a week to two weeks ahead, BUT, she said, when I start to funnel, I will go fast and we h...ave to keep our fingers crossed my stitch HOLDS. I was 16 wks when measured, and my fundal height is that of someone carrying a singleton between 22-24 wks. I'm big. And that's alot of weight on my cervix already. I'm so worried and scared to death I'm not even going to make it to 24 wks when these babies are viable. I'm trying to take it one day at a time, but when I wake up in the morning, I'm terrified of what lays ahead for that day.
Ronni Buckler Wilkinson Just got back from ultrasound, almost 28 weeks and cervix is measuring at 1.4- no funneling. Let's hope it stays there for at least 8 more weeks!

Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,
it is our little secret that only I can feel.
I look forward to your birth,
whe...n I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile,
As I feel you play within
