had my level 2 and kinda frustrated!

had my level 2 today and thankfully the babies looked OK. they were only 1 oz different in size, but i will be getting monitored weekly to make sure they dont develop TTTS. also the OB is starting me on progesterone injections 1x/wk to prevent preterm labor. i also have to get my cervix checked weekly since having my cerclage done a few weeks ago.

im on strict bed rest and cant drive so its annoying that i have to find someone to watch my 2.5 year old AND someone to drive me to the Dr 2x/wk. i know the most important thing is just keeping these safe and in my belly for as long as possible, but i am just feeling very frustrated at the moment.

Re: had my level 2 and kinda frustrated!

sorry you have to be on bed rest and can't drive,
but as you said the babies are most important right now
i hope you can find someone to watch your 2.5 yr old, that cant be easy for you or your child,

Re: had my level 2 and kinda frustrated!

Vent away....it must be so hard. It was hard enough for me to deal with the dr. appt's for my twins with a 2 1/2 year old at home, and I wasn't on bed rest!! I can't imagine!!

Re: had my level 2 and kinda frustrated!

i know exactly how you feel..i went into preterm labor and dilated to 2 cm at 23 weeks with my twins.. it was the hardest 10 weeks of my life.. and i cant say i didnt secretly wish for them to come out already b.c i hate not being able to do anything for myself. But it does end I made it to 32 weeks 2 days b4 i had an emergency c-section. and it was all worth it even 3 weeks on magnesium lol. Just remember it does end. And these are my first children i dunno what i would do if I had a 2.5 yr old also . Hang in there and if you need to talk your welcome to fm me.

I'm so sorry! You just have to keep those two little ones in mind and think about the amazing gift you will have after you get throug this hard time.
