Bed rest for the next 6 weeks 😭
So ladies I’m 25 weeks today I was just released from the hospital yesterday after being there since Monday, Saturday evening I started having upper back pain that spread around my ribs and across the top of my stomach it was enough pain that it was hard to move but I literally thought great my twins are growing and one just pulled my muscles Sunday comes around the and pain intensified spreading to my entire back and across my entire stomach I’m still thinking it’s just muscle pain and it should get better by the end of the day if I just rest so that’s what I did well Monday comes around and the pain is still there it’s been a none stop pain that doesn’t stop now this being my first pregnancy I never thought oh if you have constant pain that feels like your muscles are being ripped apart it’s 100% contractions I decided to finally call my doctor Monday morning and they told me to go into labor and delivery immediately so I do just that after being hooked up and test being ran it showed I was having contractions none stop they did a swab on me and a nst swab the first one showed I have a vaginal bacteria that caused my contractions and the nst showed I was at risk for premature labor in the next 2 weeks by then I was in excruciating pain crying my damn eyes out cause it hurt so much even after the 2 attempts of shots to get the contractions to stop they didn’t so they had to put me on magnesium sulfate for 24 hrs which stopped the pain but I was still having contractions that I wasn’t feeling until it wore off and I started feeling every time my stomach got tight from a contraction i got a sharp electric pain shoot across my back and pelvic area but because it wasn’t constant and I wasn’t hurting they were going to release me Wednesday until Wednesday morning while on the monitor one of my twins heart rate dropped below 100 for 4 minutes and I was having contractions that were all over the place so because of that they kept me gave me more shots and more medicine to calm my uterus down because the contractions were starting to stress her out they gave me shots to speed up their lungs the day before just Incase I was to have my girls early which terrified the fuck outta me cause I was not ready for them to come at 24 weeks finally everything seemed to be normal besides the fact I was still having small contractions Wednesday Thursday they finally let me go home but now I’m on bed rest for 6 weeks with only 12 weeks left I’m already feeling depressed because I literally can’t do anything my boyfriend goes to school 3 days out of the week but for 10 hours a day so the days he can’t help me are gonna be my hardest day and I’m already feeling depressed the drs day it’s nothing I did that twins sometimes become high risk around 20-28 weeks I had a completely normal pregnancy until I hit 24 weeks being pregnant for the first time this shit scared the fuck outta me has anyone else experienced this and went into labor early still or did you actually carry past 30 weeks being in bed rest? And how did you cope cause I’m stressing over not being able to do simple things anymore 😭
