Hey all....called the doctor this am. Was going nuts and was not feeling contractions since Tuesday. He asked me to come in and be checked. He put me on the monitor for 1/2 hour and saw that my uterus was quiet. I told him that my DH was concerned about me, as I was very depressed and crying alot during bed rest. My OB decided that since all looked quiet, he would modify my bed rest. He still wants me resting, not lifting, not standing around, not walking around, no chores.......he gave me permission to move around a bit more, take my DD to the movies (so long as I do not have to wait in a line), take DD to swim practice and meets (so long as I am sitting down). He decided this, he said, since all was quiet with my uterus and for emotional stability.
I know that other people have been on bed rest for months and I feel like a baby, but it was too much for me, esp given that I was not feeling any more contractions. I am seeing OB again on Tuesday for my weekly visit. He gave me instructions to listen to my body, as I always do, and call if I do feel contractions.
