Not handling bed rest well anymore. Possibly slipping into a depression.
I'm 28 weeks with my rainbow baby. I'm so grateful to have him and that he is healthy, but I'm so miserable.
Bed rest for nearly a month now. My whole body aches from being immobile. I'm having episodes of nausea, and contractions, everything I eat (or dont eat) gives me reflux directly handed from hell. My arms feel so tired and heavy I can barely use them if I wanted to. I've been crying in discomfort all day. My appetite is gone. I'm hypoglycemic, but had gone the whole day today on a small bowl of cereal. It finally dawned on me about an hour ago that that was all id eaten today and I forced myself to eat a PBJ for baby's sake.
I tried to do yoga this morning, and will again tomorrow morning, though frankly it doesn't seem to be helping. I just don't know how I'll make it another 12 weeks in this condition with my sanity. And I'm not sure my 2 yr old will still love his slacked mommy in 12 weeks either. :(
Does anyone have any tips? I keep feeling like my attitude would be alot better, if I didn't hurt so much. :(
