Welp... I am 30 weeks and have been put on pelvic rest. I have had a tough, but ok pregnancy. I started out with high BP and was on watch for months, but been fine for a few months straight with no meds, so that worked out. I have had morning sickness almost the whole time, but given vitamins are helping. I have been dealing with random muscle spasms where my ovary use to be for past 2 months, feels worse than neuralgia and kidney stones.. been out of work for a couple weeks. just starting to go away, but still flares randomly, then the ripping feeling in my abs have started, not the worst, but just sucks. i already have many bad joints, pregnancy carpal tunnel on top of my carpal tunnel, bad knees, bad back, bla bla bla. been sucking it up, been working until a few weeks ago of mostly trying ro go in and then getting sent home (there is no light duty)

This week, as much as everything else has been downfalling due to not being able to move as much, i was going to return to work on partial some what fake light duty (work is trying for me, but there really is not much they can have me work on) aaaand i start bleeding today 😫 I do have placenta previa, so it’s to be expected. no other symptoms, things are fine, but I was told Pelvic rest.

What is pelvic rest? things the doctor says:

“do not stick anything in your vagina” great.. SO and I just finally had sex for the first time since conceiving a few days ago.. although I’m happy we finally did, I’d be upset if We weren’t able to before this rest.

“do not have difficult BMs”

uhh.. haha yeah ok.. I’ve already been doing my best, so I can’t make any promises! (then was told to take colace daily, not as needed, and more water on top of all the dried fruit, fresh fruit liters of water, fiber foods, pear juice, prunes, nuts and fiber supplements)

no pushing or pulling motions(already was told not to because of muscle spasm issue as of late)

basically no strain what so ever. Basically bed rest, except she wants me to still walk and light stretches. I guess forget the kegals I finally started making sure I do regularly?!

I have to be happy and positive that baby is healthy, i passed the diabetes thing, no preeclampsia, things are going great and healthy! but it does just feel like everytime i feel better a week later something else gets in my way :/ 10 more weeks to go give or take! well, less than, not sure when csection is being scheduled, except that it will be earlier than my due date, still hoping that placenta stretches away from my cervix. so maybe 6-10 or so weeks to go! So close!!!! She’s kicking and squirming away!!

Anyone else on pelvic rest or the like?
