Day 4 Hospital Bedrest
J here interpreting L’s thoughts:
Things could be going smoother. Magnesium is an extremely hard drug to be on. Yesterday was a scary day and it seemed the girls would be delivered within hours, as my body was breaking through the Mag and I was getting sicker. Contractions were coming on strong and regular and the pain was excruciating in my back. Two manual cervical checks revealed not much is holding the stitch in place. So, any prolonged contractions will mean cerclage will need to come out. Mag was causing major breathing issues that contributed to the increase in contractions. So doctors have lowered the dosage and it seems to be helping. Last night was the first night I experienced any amount of sleep since Thursday. The Mag has caused my body to feel like it’s physically breaking down. I’m weak and everything takes effort. Hopefully the restored sleep with make today a better day and were just hoping to get to Tuesday.
I can’t even imagine how hard this must be. Thinking of you!
We have been thinking of you guys every day and sending you all the best vibes we have. So sorry that it’s not going as smoothly as possible!! Fingers crossed for Tuesday (and beyond, if possible!)
My thoughts are will you…
Sending you love, light, and strength
I hate this for you. 😦 Trina was SO sick the 2 days before the boys came. I can’t imagine how rough it must be to feel like this with no specific date to look forward to.
😦 Hang in there girls. All 4 of you!
Thinking of you.
Hi ladies,
Just recently found your blog. My partner and I also live in the Twin Cities metro area and are starting our TTC journey. Best of luck with the bed rest and eventual labor and delivery!
Alecia
Hoping and praying for all of you!
This sounds so hard, as if it hasn’t been hard enough for you. Thinking of you and hoping the days pass quickly until it’s time for the girls to come out.
Big hugs!!!! You’re (both) doing great. Keep it up!
I’m sorry that the mag is making you feel so sick. I’ll be thinking of all of you!
