  • I was placed on bedrest Bcz I had lost 30lbs & I was severely dehydrated
  • I was put on bedrest the first time because I was hospitalized for 3 threatend miscarriages with this little girl. And I'm on bedrest now because I went into preterm labor last weekend
  • Wow thats terrible. I know a girl i work with was sent on bdrest but i dont know her reason. I kinda wish i could be bedrested so i didnt have to go to work :P
  • I don't think bedrest would be fun.I think you only go on it of something is wrong and may happen to your health or the babys health.I don't think you want that.
  • I was put on bedrest in March I was 4months bcus preterm labor and incompetent cervix I'm 7months now I'm glad I have 2 more to go
  • Bedrest is not fun at all. I had to leave my job. I can't do anything not even take long showers! Its awful and it doesn't help that my bf works 12 to 18 hr days everyday so I'm left at home with the animals ugh
  • @excitedforbaby i wouldnt wish anything to br wrong witg my baby girl. Im just being lazy.

    It would be terrible to be going through what some of the pregly mommies are going through! Hope everyone gets better!
  • I hope they get better too,whoever is on bedrest!
  • I was on bedrest for 3 wks towards the end of my pregnancy. My blood pressure just went all crazy. It was probably work related stress because after a few days it was fine but bedrest sucked. I did do a lot of scrapbooking to pass the time and watch a lot of baby shows
  • I was put on bed/pelvis rest @10weeks until I reached my 2nd trimester bc I had bleeding.

  • What happens to your job and your pay when you go on bedrest? Anyone?
  • Early contractons or labor, swelling, dialation,blood pressure etc.
  • I was put on bed rest because a history of early m/c and very early labor contractions.
  • @blueberrysmom it depends on the type of benefits yu gt from your job. Wen I was on BR I didn't qualify for patents Bcz I had only been with my second job for 11 months. My hr dept told me it needed to be a yr. I guess ppl can try the state disability buttt I hate filling out paper work
  • @kiya90 oh. Thanks for the info!
  • Payment** not patents
  • @Beautiful_Altar what is preeclampsia?
  • High blood pressure caused by pregnancy. The only cure is delivery.

    @Beautiful_Altar Oh wow that sounds terrible.. I know my mom ended up having something that caused her to go into a seizure so i was forced to be 2 months early. I forget what its called.
  • #1 I was on bed rest because I had complete placenta previa. no sex, lifting, walking/ standing more than 20 minutes a day from 27 wks to birth. but I was on light bed rest and no lifting from 10 wks.
    #2 I was on bed rest because I had lost a lot of blood due to an unknown medical condition that I found out about at 22 wks pregnant and was on bedrest until birth.
    #3....not yet!!! this is the farthest I have made it without being placed on bed rest and I am so happy, but scared to be put on bedrest. I am almost 27 wks!!!
  • I'm 18 weeks now, on bed rest for Placenta Previa, been out of work since March 25...
  • @surviormommie3 hope you continue your luck on baby 3
