Good luck with the baby & keeping your sanity while on bedrest. Try hulu.com for episodes of tv shows you can watch for free on your PC….they even have some movies. I think they guess the weight. My first was susposed to be near 9lbs & she was 7lb 4oz…my second they said would be bigger even though there is an 8 year gap & she came in a week over due at 6lb 15oz. Its all in Gods hand so I’ll pray for you and your family….Good luck.

I’ve been enjoying your blog and just wanted to say hi! I’m a homeschool mom of 7 with #8 due April 25th, so I think we’re maybe due around the same time! I’m sorry you’re on bed rest

Oh no, bed rest. That has to be hard to do with so many children to take care of. I was really sick with this last pregnancy and pretty much was on self induced bed rest. I’d love another baby, but I don’t think i could put my body or family through that again. It was really bad.

I hope your bed rest doesn’t last too long and if it does, at least you know you’re doing what is best for your baby. And maybe you can actually relax a little in these last weeks!

For what its worth, this last baby of ours was our smallest, but he is totally healthy and normal. Just felt like being small, I guess. lol

I hope your bed rest isn’t too boring. It will be worth it. and it is good that you have blogging to keep you occupied.

I’ve also done the bedrest thing with 4 of my kiddos. They officially diagnosed me with intra-uterine growth retardation, meaning the babies weren’t gaining weight like they should have. I also had the blood pressure issues too. And the several times a week appointments…yuck.

BTW, I concur with the other poster–the docs were all wrong about my babies weights and they ended up being about 3 pounds heavier than the docs said. My 4th child– they told me she was going to be 3 pounds right before I had her. She was 7 pounds and 4 ounces!

I am glad that you can get some help. I’ll be praying for you and your little one.

Praise God your mom is coming to help! PRaying for the baby to grow and be healthy! I’m also praying for you through the rest of the pregnancy.

I was on bed rest with high blood pressure when I was pregnant with Alice. It was a horrible few days (I was already 39 weeks so they scheduled inducement for when the maternity ward cleared out a little since my doc came out of surgery to send me home). Needless to say those few days were torture. I hope your bed rest goes over better than mine did.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re on bedrest! Those ultrasounds are notoriously wrong when it comes to estimating weight, so I’m sure your little one will be just fine. I had GD w/my last pregnancy and dreaded the barrage of tests and Dr’s visits as well.

I hope you don’t mind I passed on your name to Adrienne at Mom Central. It looks like a fun opportunity. Maybe you won’t be able to participate next week, but perhaps later on in the year for another event.
