Talk me down ladies

I finished my 3 days of bedrest yesterday after having a transfer on Monday.
I couldn't wait to get out of bed....but now I'm scared to stand up:(
Everytime I get up I feel tightening in my lower abdomen (uterus) area. I'm almost positive these are just mental pains, but I am scared to death I will do something wrong.

Please just tell me I'm crazy so I can go on with my 2ww and my husband can maybe get a hot meal tonight.
Please for the sake of my sanity I need to hear stories from u BFP ladies.....am I just being paronoid? How easy does "take it easy" mean? What does light housework mean???? I'm scared to lift a plate:O(.......ugh!!!!

Thanks to all who can help!!!

I got a bpf after in vitro (I later miscarried but that's beside the point) and I ended up having a terrible cold the day before my transfer and a few days after. I was sneezing, coughing, and you know how much your stomach contracts to do that. And I still got a bfp. I asked my doctor about it and he said that things like that are not going to make them come out. It's good to be cautious, but don't let it consume you.

Stacy, I am sure it is nothing. Think about all the women who get pg without all the bedrest etc. Just take it easy and you will be fine!

I wouldn't do any heavy construction. And watch the vacuuming and doing laundry. I wouldn't lift anything over 5lbs, but I don't think making dinner is out of the question. You are doing great!

I had terrible pain in that area after but mine started right away. Maybe it is the embryos settling in!! I don't think you will do anything by getting up, but if the pain is real bad, call the dr. Are you swollen at all? Sometimes there can be some swelling in there that they need to treat (can't think of the word for it right now, I am a bit brain dead today!)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
