That really is a tough call. As someone who lo...Oy. That really is a tough call. As someone who lost our daughter at 23+2, I have always regretted not just saying to hell with work when I was showing major signs of trouble (growth restriction, bad afp numbers, major weight gain/swelling, upper right quadrant pain- but my bp was normal and I wasn't spilling protein, but my ob was fairly certain I was headed toward pre-e, but like you, pointed out research doesn't really support bedrest anyway...well a week later I had HELLP. Bedrest might not have helped but in hindsight, I always will regret that I didn't go with my gut and try it.) I find that in my pregnancy/infant loss group, too often the warning signs are right there but not taken seriously until it's really, really bad or even too late. Although I'm sure from an ob perspective, there are probably plenty of times you see warning signs only to have it be much ado about nothing. All I can say is I've been in this place, I didn't feel like I could take off work on my own because I didn't have that time saved up, my doctor wouldn't have justified it medically, etc. It may not have made a difference either way, but I really wish I had done things differently.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807174691448146340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-70281878872755442502011-12-02T05:40:34.122-08:002011-12-02T05:40:34.122-08:00I hope you can figure out a way to take some time....I hope you can figure out a way to take some time. I know that I'd have a really hard time doing it, too. And, I know that I'm likely going to have to figure out how to do it. No idea how, though.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382638658909144208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-85080746903779221062011-12-01T17:43:44.761-08:002011-12-01T17:43:44.761-08:00that must be really difficult - can you take a lea...that must be really difficult - can you take a leave of absence?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-73385825133453347032011-12-01T17:24:48.312-08:002011-12-01T17:24:48.312-08:00Oh my - it's hard that you can't really cu...Oh my - it's hard that you can't really cut back on your hours.

I thought I should have something easy after having a more difficult time getting pregnant (though no where ne'er as difficult as you). I'm an OB nurse and I think I was a subject of the "OB nurse curse". Perhaps it pertains to OB/gyns too :). Wishing you a calmer uterus and happy baby!MNRNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120010191027823476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-82589374502089690552011-12-01T14:56:13.582-08:002011-12-01T14:56:13.582-08:00Hang in there IG...this is not easy!Hang in there IG...this is not easy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095109953510642934.post-19495623835521035802011-12-01T14:46:50.856-08:002011-12-01T14:46:50.856-08:00My doc put me on Progesterone 17 shots to calm the...My doc put me on Progesterone 17 shots to calm the uterus..... maybe u could try them....Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662652837862227423noreply@blogger.com
