Bed rest moans

[Crownjewelz]

I seriously hate being on such strict bed rest. It's hard being so lazy and having my mom and hubby wait on me. I'm do independent that its killing me. Don't get me wrong it's nice to not have to do much but it pisses me off when I want to and can't. I'm going to be on it until she comes at 38 weeks. How am I supposed to nest?!?! Grrrrrrrr....

Hi hun,
Im only 21 weeks and have a loooooooooooong time on bed rest to go! I feel like i am going insane also. I hate not being able to do anything. There is only so much of the same stuff you can watch on tv. I hate watching my oh cleaning, he never does it right but i cant say anything because he does it without a single moan. Bless him. I am also eating like a horse through boredom mostly. By the time this baby comes out they are gonna need a crane to get me out of the house lol. BUT we do it because the end result will be more than worth it. xxx

My hubby cleans like a man as well. He does great laundry but when he cleans I always have to go behind him and do it the right way. Haha! My appetite is getting a bit out of control now too. Kinda worried its going to make me gain a crap ton in my last few weeks.

I'm not on STRICT bed rest but pretty much from bed to couch, from couch to toilet. Its only been a week and its driving me crazy (an i've been out of the house for short periods).

Everybody is telling me to relax, and at least I can rest before baby gets here...but I cant when I see so many things to do still!!!! I know DH does his best, but he also works so there is not enough time! I feel so bad for him.
Yesterday I even had a crying fit because the house wasnt clean and I wanted to sort things out. I wasnt angry at him, just at the situation, but its hard for him to understand.

I'm hoping to go back to normal in 3 weeks when I reach 35 weeks. I was told I will be able to stop taking progesterone so I hope it means no more rest!

ive been on bedrest for 5 or 6 weeks now. Its killing me, too! I had one doc at the practice say that I can run light errands and go out as long as I dont walk far or stand the whole time so occasionally I get a meal out and its the hilight of my week(s)

another doc said that i should be resting and not get up other than getting food/drink or going to the bathroom, so my OH thinks im pushing way too hard if I do run to the drugstore or something.

As much as being home is a nice change of pace, I've worked since I was 15 and worked full time since part way through college. Being home is so frustrating. My fam doesnt want me going anywhere on my own and doesnt really want me getting out of bed/off the couch. My legs feel like they want to get up and run a marathon and i'm bored out of my mind. I want to get up and be social and clean and do stuff...

now that i've ranted... baby's safety definitely comes first, though!

I've been on bed rest for 11 weeks, have 2 to go, till 36 weeks due to incompetent cervix and no stitch. My mom has had to move in temporarily to help me with the day to day while DH works. Its been rough, having too much time on your hands can lead to thinking too much sometimes which isn't necessarily a good thing. I've always been a very active person, so its been really hard for me. You're definitely not alone, but one thing we all have in common is having a healthy baby in the end. This thought has gotten me through every day of bed rest. Just remain positive and try not to let the little things get to you

I'm sorry. I am not on strict bed rest but I am very limited on my activities because if I do much my BH start up really bad, and I have to rest frequently for my little boy to get better cord flow. I feel like a lazy lump most of the time. My poor husband tries to keep up with the housework but he is awful at it. I start getting fed up with the mess (he works full time so I can't hound him to keep up with everything because he tries) and start trying to clean myself but 10 minutes into doing something I have to stop. I understand the wanting to do stuff you can't though! I have been taking it easy all pregnancy since I'm not working or anything and it never bothered me not going out much but now that I am limited on what I can do all I want is to go out!
