Does your dr recommend bed rest after transfer?

Question

I’ve been doing research as usual. Most places are saying the 🛏 rest is actually bad because it slows down circulation. I mean the embaby won’t fall out lol. But some stuff says it’s best to relax. My last transfer I tried to say in bed but ended up moving around the house and what not...failed transfer. This time my dr gave me explicit 24hr 🛏 rest rule. Which I think I might follow this Time around 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

My RE recommends “taking it easy and relaxing”.  They said take 48 hours off if your job is stressful and no lifting more than 10 lbs for 48 hours also.  That was the hardest part, cause I have a 18 month old.  I lifted him a few times (which they said was okay) but tried not to too much.  We’ll find out in a few days if it worked!

Answer

I resumed normal activity after first two transfers and both failed. This last transfer I was on modified bed rest and it stuck. Not sure if it’s related.

Answer

I went on a 3 mile hike the day of my fresh transfer. It stuck but sadly ended early on.

Answer

I skip the gym on transfer day and the next 2 days, but make sure to walk a bit like 30 minutes or more. My clinic says pelvic rest for 3 days but I’ve always extended that out of fear (but nothing has ever stuck...yet).
