I know what your going through! My daughter Kylie,
now 6 years old was born at 27 weeks after PROM
at 25 weeks. After 5 years of struggling to decide
to try for another we finally went for it.
At 16 weeks I found out I had complete placenta
previa (I had alot of bleedig spells) and was
put on restricted bedrest. After some other
complications my son Caleb was born at 25.6 weeks.
I know how devistating this can all be but STAY
POSITIVE!!!! and formost stay as busy as you can--
IN BED! What helped me was I knew I had to focus
on THAT pregnancy not my pregnancy and the NICU
with my daughter!!!!
For some great bedrest tips I suggest Inkan's web
sight. It helped me. If you'd like someone to chat
with feel free to e-mail me, I'm ALWAYS home with
my son, now 5 months (actual) Oh, just some quick
tips that we used since I was at home for a couple
of weeks before going into the hospital.
DH would fix me up a cooler with goodies before
going to work and leave it by the bed.
I had a BIG table beside the bed with lots of stuff
to do--including the computer so I didn't have
to get up to go sit at it.
Ok, I could probably sit here all day and go on.
I wish you luck!
