So I did encounter bedrest right at the end of this pregnancy. Only for about 2 weeks so really not too bad. Around 34.5 weeks I went in and was complaining of more contracting then usual and pain behind my knee. She sent me to the hospital for the night and I was super sad thinking I might be spending a few days/weeks away from my kids. She was worried about blood clots which are more common during pregnancy and can be life threatening. She also wanted to make sure I was very well hydrated and put me on (Procardia?) to help me relax my uterus. (I was already dialated to a 3.5 cm at this point.) It did help relax my contractions but it can only be taken for a week so it is a temporary solution. Also luckily my blood clots were superficial so not need to worry just painful. I went home the next morning.So the Monday before sister was born I went in for an appointment and I told my Midwife, Kathy Autry, I was worried about going early (36 weeks at this point and 4 cm dialated) And she said if I could make it Friday (37 Weeks) then to just go and meet her at the hospital. She didn't think I would make it til then but I did. (Rest of the Story in the next post!)
Everyone else wanted to get in on the pictures too.
