Hi Sara, my name is Ruth Ann and like Carmen, I have been hanging out on this bedrest board for quite a while. Sorry to hear you were put on bedrest. I am not going to say it is an easy thing but what I can tell you is it gets better every week! We are living proof! So, my story...I was put on bedrest at 21 weeks due to preterm labor and shortening cervix. I got mixed opionions from different doctors on bedrest but listened to my body and pretty much stayed put, off my feet unitl 34 weeks. I took the first month off from work and was just devistated and well, angry that this had happened to us (this is my first). Once I accepted it was just something I had to do, it got better. I began working from home on the couch which I am very grateful my job allowed. So after many long weeks (I actually forget how many) I am now 38w 5d and cannot believe it! The doctors now joke that I will have to be induced past my due date which is next Thurs 7/9. My advice is to remind yourself that it is only temporary and while you may have days where you want to give up....don't it works! Hang in there and check into this board often. These ladies got me through some tough ones! I will keep you in my prayers. Take care, RA
