Will I be put on bed rest?

Question

I was admitted to the hospital for swollen feet/legs and pelvic pain. I started contracting and was dilated almost 2cm at 34 weeks. I've been in the hospital since September 2 and will most likely be going home later today September 4. In your opinions or personal experience do you think I will be put on bed rest? (I will be asking my doctor tomorrow )

Answer

I think yes you will but a lot of times you have to advocate for yourself. Do you feel like you need to go? When I was 37 weeks I had just like you swollen feet, dehydrated, pelvic girdle pain, super sore back and couldn't sleep. I am a teacher and on my feet all day. So my dr gave me a talk about going out on leave. Stupid me opted for 1/2 days but I should have taken full leave at that point. Listen to your body and don't be a hero. Ask about leave and take it if you need it!
