Bed rest

Yeah so it sucks that I am on bed rest! You never realize how much you do until you can't do it. I feel just use less around here. My house is a mess and it drives me crazy. I am on bed rest until the baby is born. I have high blood pressure or other know as PIH (Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension). Which means I am one foot in the door to Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome. I am not server enough to take the baby thank goodness. But that doesn't mean I will make it to term either. Until I have bad blood counts for my liver and blood platelet and have a higher count of protein in my urine I can stay in bed. They are hopeful to get at least 5 more weeks out of me which will put me at 29 weeks. That is when I had Ainsley, plus survival rate is a lot higher for this little man. In a ideal world they would love it for me to make 32 weeks. But if I make to 29 I will be very happy! So I am counting for 29 weeks and then when that past I will keep counting one week at a time. Me and needles are becoming fast best friends. I have 3 steroid shots since last Friday for the maturing of his lungs faster, plus they have drawn more blood out of me that I am surprise I can walk around. But I will have to get my blood drawn at every visit. I am sure they will give another dose of the steroid before the baby is born as well. I am very confident that I can make 5 more weeks. Right now my blood and urine is good. Genetically I am mess when I am pregnant which most of the time when you have Pre-E or HELLP it only affects your first birth unless you are genetically prone to it. I now know I am prone to it and it is part of me and my genes. I feel like this is our last baby I can not keep putting my family and my health through this every time. But 2 is a great number and I did get my girl and boy!!! I am so happy to have this little bundle of joy and miracle. I know that heavenly father watches over me and this little one, and everything will be taken care of and every one will be healthy in the end!

Oh and here is a pic of me 24 weeks pregnant I took this before going back to the Dr for the shot.

  • Jayne,
    Wow. What a lot of hard stuff to deal with. Adam and I will really pray for you and keep your name in the temple for the next months. You CAN DO IT!!! It's SO important to really take it easy so this baby can spend as much time inside as possible. Every day counts. I wish I was there to help keep your house clean and watch Ainsley. I really hope you've got a good group of friends to help you out. Take it easy, friend. I'm thinking of you and missing you. Remember: God will help you stay in bed and miracles happen every day!
    I love you.
