Experiences with

Bed rest

Was spotting two weeks ago and was placed on early pregnancy scan which they saw a heartbeat and was placed on bed rest in the clinic for 6days. Throughout the bed rest bleeding continues,I did another scan last week Monday while bleeding heartbeat seen.

I was put on a bed rest for a few weeks to see if the baby makes it. He did. After 16 weeks everything went smoothly. And now he is here. So don’t give up hope and don’t give up on less than perfect embryos.

I find I'm at my best in the morning after bed rest but as the morning goes on the head drops down with my chin anchored to my chest, as if held by a strong magnet Anyone else suffer with same or similar symptoms?

Hi, my name is wurlydog, I'm home now on bed rest at my mums house having spent 12 days in icu (aren't those guys amazing). 5 of the 12 days was on full life support which they expected me to be on for at least 10-12 days, following a full respiratory collapse.

I have been told baby steps so complete bed rest for 6 weeks then little step by step. my wee girl isn’t coping with mummy not being able to help her, anyone any ideas to help her understand? Thanks

I have been on pretty much bed rest for the last 3 weeks, hoping that the sch has gotten smaller.

I've also lost 6 pounds since I've been off bed rest and no activity restrictions due to high blood pressure. I wore a pair of shorts and T-shirt yesterday that I haven't worn on over a year because they were too snug. I also feel so much better.

However, that one week of bed rest stressed me out about the exam's outcome since I couldn't follow my planned routine. After that, my health only worsened, and now I’m on medication for panic disorder. I find it difficult to sleep early and wake up early without taking a pill.

Probably a silly question, but: The procedure and bed rest lasts for several hours and they pump you with IV fluid. Do you have a tube placed to collect your urine or some other way to deal with it if you have to go?

I have just spent another 10 days in hospital whilst they have been trying to get my HR under 100 - nothing working so far - they have let me out with many drugs in the hope that bed rest and the drugswill bring it down. Unfortunately I have also been diagnosed with Stage 3 heart failure.

Bed rest fir a few days and I’ve a nurse daily and under ny cardio weekly to check fluid doesn’t come back. I feel battered in my belly and chest but early days. Once again thanks yo everyone that responded and of course I would have replied. Sue

The whole thing was a blur, chest pains, hospital, procedure, bed rest for 2 days then home. So HA Tuesday home Thursday. I’ve got all my tablets and I’m comfortable with them. I was also told not to drive for 2 weeks. But that is it, no “we will be in touch” do this for a few weeks.

I saw my PT right away and frequently and did bed rest and finally after 8 days it started to go away. Believe me no one wants to live like that. My advice talk to the doctors./ nurses before hand and ask for caution during the process!

I started bleeding at 16wks which lasted for only a few hours and I was rushed to the hospital and kept on bed rest. I had no pain or cramps whatsoever.

I have been put on bed rest and need to go for another scan next week. Has anyone experienced similar, and the baby has fine. Xx

Can get 1 week sick leave for bed rest if I ask my Gp? Someone please help and respond as I am so nervous at the moment. This is actually my second IVF journey. First time was when I was still on the waiting list for laparoscopy to remove endo. We miscarried at 8wks unfortunately.

oh my gosh, my anxiety is out of control, my Twin died 3 weeks ago, suddenly and unexpected, she is still with the coroner as she was seen in A&E on the Monday and sent home on bed rest, she died early hours of Wednesday, so there is a big investigation going on.

Can get 1 week sick leave for bed rest if I ask my Gp? Someone please help and respond as I am so nervous at the moment. I can’t get a hold of anyone from the ivf centre as this is the weekend and the urgent centre I called said it is just a 3wks pregnancy and not due for scanning.

Do I need bed rest ? 30 mins walking which I normally do should I stop now ? Anyone with good news of placenta going up and if so at how many weeks it went up? I hope it goes up for me .. traumatised of bleeding and loosing baby. So any advise would help please anybody on similar situation ?

Threatened miscarriage on the 1st pregnancy (bed rest for 1.5 months) But I’m absolutely heartbroken to be going through our 2nd miscarriage of 2024. 1st in March and another now 💔 Heard this little one’s heartbeat at 7 weeks.
