Ive been on bedrest now for 3 days and Im going insane lol. Never thought I would get sick of this bed. Im so used to doing everything for myself so its hard to let go and let DH do it "his" way. I heard back from my OB and he explained everything to me. Basically bleeding is typically from a placenta or when your cervix dialates (both are bad!). Well the reports from the ER showed that they found neither. So that is good but that leaves questions because then they are not sure then exactly why I bled. I like to have answers. When they dont know it makes me nervous because I feel it could just spontaneously happen again. Luckily the bleeding stopped and I have just been spotting brown (which is old blood). But I told my OB that I have had cramping here and there. Not sure if its just the normal stretching cramping or not. Its not horrible but any little twinge makes me freak.
I asked my OB if I needed to continue bedrest and just see him at my next appointment on Nov. 2nd. He said yes continue it (which surprised me) and that his nurse will be calling to get me in early next week. So he needs DH to come down and pick up my work status report. Man my pay is really going to suck. I guess I will just apply for disability and get some change (literally its pennies). I know we will be fine but things will be tight. I was so hoping I could work longer and collect PTO so once the babies are born I can be with them longer. I know the most important thing right now is keeping them safe and I am definately doing my best. I love these two so much already. I just thought that once I hit the 2nd trimester that I would be in the clear. I guess no one said this would be easy!

I was just thinking about you when you posted this! I would go crazy not having answers too, but maybe it is one of those things where no news is good news! It's great that the bleeding has stopped and your doctor is going to get you in next week... you will likely get another peek too! Bedrest & being out of work stinks, but in the end you will have healthy babies and that is worth more than anything. Maybe you can catch up on movies or reading.... there are a lot of pregnancy/baby books out there! You will be an expert when the babies arrive!

I have lower abdominal cramping too which really stresses me out bu I have to keep telling myself it's normal with twins. Hang in there, you are doing great! Let me know if you watch any good movies. ;)

Oh my, I am so sorry that you are not having one of those blissfully easy pregnancies. But you strong! After al you have been through, I know are willing to do what ever it takes! I just wish it were so difficult on you!
Catch up on movies & read a few good books. In another few months you will not have much time for those things!
BIG HUGS!!!

It would drive me nuts too...but you could look at it as you need your rest now because once they get here you will never sleep again... LOL Get your rest and as hard as it is let your DH do things "his" way because it make him feel like he is doing his part in the pregnancy. Dan explained that to me after the fact..he wanted to help and I always said I could do it but usually in the end I let him. He told me that he was glad because he felt like he played a roll during the 9 months and that was the least he could do .

Due to some spotting last week (even though the OB's office can't get me in until this week...grr!) I put myself on bedrest this past weekend! OB's office didn't really give me answers when I called last week about the spotting and crampiness I felt, so I figured I'd play it safe and get plenty of rest. I can completely understand how you're feeling...the 2nd trimester is supposed to be the easy on! Hopefully we are both feeling better this week. Try to enjoy getting some rest!

I think I mentioned that I have a friend a little further along then you (maybe 15 weeks) and she has had a good amount of bleeding off and on the entire time. None of the doctors can give her a reason for it. Some of it was pretty heavy too. They always say her cervix is closed so where is it coming from then? Maybe it opens and closes before they see it? I am curious to find out the answer for this so if you get an answer, please let me know.
I am sorry you have to be on bed rest, but you are right, the most important thing right now is bringing those babies safely into the world. You can worry about after they are born when that time comes. You and the babies are always in my prayers.
