Any moms who have a toddler and went into premature labor ?

Question

Any mommas out there with a toddler and went into premature labor with their second and got the contractions to stop but been told need to be on light activity/bed rest. How did you manage taking it easy while taking care of a lil one.

Answer

I went on bedrest at 30 weeks with my second. I had to rely a lot on my mother in law to help with pick ups and drop off at nursery. We also hired a cleaner who came in a few hours a day and did house work and prepared food that I could just throw in the oven at night. There is no possible way of doing complete bed rest when you have a toddler. You need to ask people for help.

Answer

Yupp!
My daughter was 13m old when her brother was born. Basically from 10-13m old, I wasn’t allowed to hold her or go do anything. I also had 2 one week long hospital stays where she stayed my parents and my husband stayed with me. 
It wasn’t easy. She’s been clingier than ever to me ever since. 
I had lots of help. My husband was very very helpful. My parents helped a ton too. 
My son came at 27 weeks so I guess a bright side to that was I didn’t have to go another 10 weeks or so on strict restrictions. 
I communicated to my toddler. I gave her lots of hugs. I let her snuggle me at night and nap.
