Bed rest begins



Jay and I knew it would happen sooner or later. I have been officially put on bed rest due to having a positive Fetal Fibernecton. I’m 30 weeks and the test came back positive. This means I could deliver early, which we’ve known that all along. However, I’m confident because I tested positive for this test at 27 weeks last time and it was 9 more weeks before I delivered Jayden. Best rest can be misunderstood, believe it or not no studies have shown it delays labor, however it just makes good common sense to get the weight off your cervix. I have moderate bed rest which means I’m up 2 hours then lay down for 2 hours. So I’m still able to do my job from home. This prescription of bed rest is short term and will be lifted in 3.5 weeks when I’m 34 weeks, so just short term. My grandmother is a great cook and all I had to say is can you cook a meal or two and now we have a whole freezer full of food, which is going to be a great help, thanks grandma.
