Dear Shiela and Cathe,

51/2 weeks to go and I am on bedrest! I had a few contractions last weekend and they stopped. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and I am 2cm and he put me on bedrest with some medicine to stop further contractions.

I have gone through this before with my other 2 pregnancies so I know how important it is for me to become less active.


I am stretching every couple of hours because I get stiff. Is there anything else I can do? Is it safe for me to continue doing Kegels?
 
Bedrest.....

Joyce,

What a bummer, but you are almost there. You will have that baby in your arms before you know it.

As for exercise... I would ask your doctor before attempting any exercise - even kegels. We don't want to do anything that might entice your cervix to dilate any further.

Keep us posted. Good luck and hang in there. Let me know what the doctor says.

Sheila
