Well, I ended up back there again last night, the local duty pharmacy couldn't fill my script for BP Pills, and it started to climb again, so off I trundled back to Maternity........... at least I got a good night sleep - the neighbours were having a party here!!!!

Home again now, armed with enough drugs to tide me over until my normal chemist opens tommorow!]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:57:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8996&PID=180335&title=i-narrowly-escaped#180335 <![CDATA[I narrowly escaped : Keep the rest up at home.

Well, I may have escaped once, but not the seconed time. Just had an extremely boring 3 days laid up in hospital, But at least in the maternity ward they treat you like you are human!!!! No TV though, I think I read about 10 mags!!!!! They let me out this afternoon on the proviso that I get my BP checked each day and my admission is revised by the obstetrician at each visit. I feel like a pin cushion though, the amount of blood they took for all the different tests. It was quite scary on Thursday though cos they were talking steroid injections and everything. Aargh, but I feel much better now I am home.

Oh well, I've caught up on all the goss, so I'm off to bed.

Take care everyone

I got one of those calls on my cell phone and she could hear the car. I fessed up and she was sweet as she knew I was the only one able to do it (DH had to be at work by 7.30 and Andrew didn't start preschool till 8am).

E channel is good for a laugh as the gossip is the same stuff. I quite like the living channel for the renovation stuff and food TV for great cooking ideas.

I was on bedrest from 33 (or 34?) weeks, and it sucked majorly. I was lucky that lots of my friends felt sorry for me so came and visited, and Gandt lent me her DVD player coz ours had packed it and some books to keep me entertained.

bummer, good tho that the bubs are still cooking.
bed rest does suck. but at least the kids programs arent dominating the school hols this time. maybe you could join up to fatso or dvd unlimited for a while so you can watch movies and not have to go to the video store. i play civ when i was confined to home for bed rest. had my footstool under the computer.
Take care, and keep those bubs baking.

oh anna i know how that feels, it is so awful, and the loss of your independance is so frustrating! esp when you see things that need doing, but cant ask someone to do them for you, as they are already doing enough for you etc.

i read a lot of books when i was on bedrest, and watched a lot of movies. sorry, i cant really offer any other advice, i napped a lot too! i hope you manage to get the rest your body needs and can brew those babies a bit longer. in my experience bedrest at home is far nicer to bedrest in a hospital, or sitting beside your baby in the neonatal unit.

spend lots of time online! i tried to convince dh i needed a laptop when i was on bedrest, and he said now.... yet we got a laptop when jordis was 3 months old?????]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 22:13:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8996&PID=176812&title=i-narrowly-escaped#176812 <![CDATA[I narrowly escaped : Wow, is it freaky to think that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8996&PID=176793&title=i-narrowly-escaped#176793 Author: busymum

Wow, is it freaky to think that you could have twins on your hands at the end of this month? But until then, sticking it out with us could keep you off your feet

I know what you mean though. When I broke my foot and had to keep it up for 2-6 weeks, I was like "and do what with myself???" Sudoku worked a treat for me!

being admitted to hospital this morning......... Have been diagnosed with toxaemia at 31 weeks, so have finished up at work and I am on strict bedrest with the parting thought from the OB that I will be lucky to keep the babies cooking for more than another 4 weeks.
