Re: another l&d visit

Hi ,

So sorry to hear about your trip to L&D but thankfully it was

uneventful! Don't ever feel like a " drama queen " when it comes to the health

and well being of your baby. Always remember that the docs are there for you

both. How long have you been on bed rest for? I was on strict bed rest for

10 weeks after going into preterm labor. Thankfully now I am out of the

danger zone. Anyway, Happy New Year may 2006 be a great year for you and

your family.

-- another l&d visit

Well, my dh and I rang in the New Year with sparkling apple cider in our

Waterford crystal goblets and a trip to l&d at 4:30 in the morning! Wasn't

that fun.

Thanks to all the ladies for responding to my newbie post...really made me

feel welcome. I love reading yr stories because they give me a great deal

of hope!

I guess I wasn't clear in my pp, but we're pretty darn sure my little

bundle of joy is a boy! he's not shy AT ALL about showing us what he's got

down there, even though he won't let anyone get his heartbeat. We've had a

few good shots and if he ends up being a she I'll be shocked.

The L&D trip was uneventful-which is good. My contractions showed up as

mild irritations " (which irritates me-because they HURT!!) weren't affecting

my cervix and the boy was doing well. These trips were they send me home

because everything's " fine " always leave me feeling confused.

1-I'm happy and relieved my little boy is safe and sound and is " home " is

still keeping him in

2-I end up feeling like a nutcase for going in when everything's fine. I

HATE feeling like I'm being looked at and thought of as a drama queen.

So, I'm back home on bedrest. I was thinking about sneaking out on

Tuesday (my birthday) and using my Motherhood gift card to get some comfy

pants...but I think I may have to cancel my planned escape. I guess I'll

just have to stick to online shopping.

My dh is sleeping on the couch now...poor guy. No sleep till 8am last

night! I spend the whole trip into the hospital apologizing to him for the

late night ride. He shrugged it off saying he understood I had to go, just

in case.

hope everyone's new year was filled with love and fun and family,

prayers and positive thoughts to all the preggers!

Lyn,

I've been on " official " doctor-ordered bedrest since the 2nd week of Dec (and

I'm only 21 wks 5days now!!) but had been told to " take it easy " since I was

about 15 wks. This was even after I made it clear how little activity I was

doing!! I was pretty frustrated with that-how much easier can I take it without

going on bedrest?!! Well, not much. Bedrest is driving me crazy at this point.

I snuck out today and used my Motherhood store gift card...ahh...to be free! I

got seriously winded and tired just walking into the store!
