Bed rest...

I figured I was getting a bladder infection on Saturday and thought I had it under control until yesterday. I was in so much pain by 4pm that I broke down and called my Dr's office. They also figured it was a bladder infection, but wanted to make sure I wasn't having contractions. Thankfully my mom had planned on staying the night anyways and stayed home with Diva. Hubby and I got to Labor and Delivery and I got hooked up to all the monitors. The two hours we were there I did not have any contractions and Cobra had a very strong heartbeat. The lab results came back and I do have a bladder infection. The Dr said she didn't feel right about the bladder infection and did a internal exam (OUCH!!!!). I guess my cervix is softer than it should and now I am on bed rest for the week. With my history of going into pre-term labor with Diva at 28 weeks she wanted to be on the safe side and have me rest. We are sure I went into pre-term labor with Diva due to dehydration and I was able to keep her in until my due date, so that is a good sign. I go on Wednesday for an ultrasound and Thursday I have an appointment with the Dr to see if the softening is no big deal and if I can go back to work.

Bed rest is a bummer. And UTIs and bladder infections can cause contractions, so good thing your dr checked (because I learned the hard way that you can't always feel them). I had my first at 33 weeks, and was on bedrest with my second and made it to 37 weeks. It's boring, and frustrating....but definitely worth it in the end!

I hope you feel better! I was on bed rest the last two months with my second, ugh.

Bed rest is tough!! They need to call it something else besides rest, because each time I was on it I wore myself out tossing and turning! Hope you feel better quick and things get easier from here on out for you!
