My midwife is giving me the option to go on bedrest due to SPD. I’m hesitant because I usually just push through pain and deal with it but obviously now there’s a tiny human to worry about, I’m afraid of overdoing it.

I’m afraid people will judge me because “it’s not that bad” and every woman deals with pain throughout pregnancy but this is some of the most intense pain I’ve ever had to deal with... and I’m no stranger to pain.

I feel like most people go on bedrest so they don’t lose their baby... but I’m not really at any risk of that so I feel like it’s a waste and maybe I’m just being a big baby.
