I’m on bed rest but it’s impossible with little ones.

I’m 36 weeks and 5 cm dilated. They stopped my labor a few days ago and put me on bed rest. My husband is amazing and has been helping so much but he can’t take off work.

Our kids are four years and 15 months old. It’s impossible to be on bed rest with the little ones.

My in laws are the only ones that live near us, but my mother in law says she’s can only watch them by appointment.. lmao.. so we need to let her know days in advance for her to watch them for a few hours.

They live 3 minutes away. She is a college professor and out for summer break. She is so concerned about her farm animals that she can’t watch her grandkids while I’m on bed rest. Baby #3 can come any moment! We just asked her for a little extra help while we’re waiting for me to hit 37 weeks pregnant in 3 days.

I’m so annoyed and stressed out.

She only has 4 cows. My husband, kids, and myself just moved from our farm 2 months ago where we had 15 horses, chickens & goats that I fed twice a day with our little ones all the way up to being 6 months pregnant.

Edit: for all the people saying she’s has a life too and whatever, I completely agree. However, all we need is help for 3 hours in the morning and not even everyday. Just this morning is all we asked. I’ll be off of bed rest next week! I’ve never had preterm labor and I’ve also never lived away from my family that I’m very very close with. Hormones and nerves have me on edge.
