Bed Rest
yesterday i went to the hospital .. cause i felt something was wrong with the baby ...
they kept me under observation for around an hour .. the doctor told me that the baby is preparing himself for labor!! ALREADY!!
im still in the beginning of my 8th month and i dont want the baby to be a premi!
when i asked the doc why this happened .. she simply replied:
"baby is bored :p"
she said i shouldn't worry .. and requested i stay on bed rest for two weeks ..
shes hoping the baby will wait for at least three weeks .. only then, he wont be a "premi" as in wont be needing an incubator inshallah.
so this is my first day in bed rest .. i can say one word (boring)
i know some might consider it a good break, time for some peace .. to reflect and relax.. but not when you still have a million things that need to be done! (hhhmmmmffff)
plus im sure my boss wont be thrilled either!
for now im supposed to lay down ALL the time .. i will try to do some reading.
i must say, that is when having a blog comes in handy ;)
i need to find some other things that i can do that wont require me leaving bed .. any ideas? :)
and one more thing .. please pray that the baby will wait for three weeks at least.
pleaseeee ..
Thanks all, hope everyone is well.

LoL at baby is bored.. Both my kids came early.. someone told me curious babies come early because they hear sound form inside the womb and want to come out loool..
anyways, don't worry too much inshallah the baby will come on time..
Hmm, there's nothing more than reading, watching tv or internet that you can do on bed or if you like some crafts like knitting or sewing maybe??
Baby is bored! better bored then being too busy i say.
baby is bored you are bored.. why not do some reading (not TV) good for you and the baby.. read somthing for the baby that should keep you and the baby busy :)
Inshalla he will stay more than 3 weeks.
*shosho:

Selamat 7bebti ;* Use the time well...u wont get to rest like that in peace and quiet for a looooong time after the baby comes inshAllah..
so.....enjoooooooy it.....
things u can do while in bed:
- read some quran daily !!
- read things u have on ur booklist
- catch up on all the tv series
- watch the tudors if u havent seen it
- watch noor
hmmm....madri whatelse...
E! Read some parenting books!
Salamat babes hehe Inshalla he won't pop out before the 9th month :)
As for what to engage yourself in with your free time, well you could find lots of things you haven't done in a long time, stuff you always say you don't have time to do. It's always fun that way.
Inshalla etgomen ib alf salama :)
Hey girl... Itgoomin bisalama enshallah soon. I can't believe you're reaching the end of the race that soon but dont' worry too much. Read, watch movies, play puzzles :)
I was born on the 8th month =P and I stayed in an incubator for a while. Allah ysahil 3alaich ya rab winshallah the baby wont pop up that fast but even if he/she did (worst scenario) it wont hurt him enshallah wili Allah katba fee 5air enshallah.
Take it easy :**
3assallah yhawen 3alaich you and ur baby itgoomoon bil salama.. well my sister-in-law kanat always in bed for her last month, so used to get puzzles of 500 pieces + oo she keeps them on a table that could be pulled in to bed, madree if this helps, it kinda sounds silly but the outcome was really nice. She framed two puzzles of 1000 pieces oo 3a6at-hum her daughters as gifts later on..
Allah ysahil 3allaich enshAllah w ykhalee elbaby eb ba6nich for 3 more weeks..

LooL its bored, tara 3ady :) but u know ur gonna have an active child
Inshallah allah yaktiblich ille feeh ilkhair and you will have a healthy baby who will bring only happiness to your heart
They say that the baby would react to the mother reading or listening to music while in labor, it makes them more intelligent. so reading and blogging, and there r a million and one things to do online if u have a stable connection :) take care of yourself
take good care of urself o inshallah itgomen bil salama
I hope it all goes well with you... my friend was on bed rest since her 20something week and today she have a little bit over one year old healthy baby boy... all it takes is faith and patience :-)
On what to do, you can read, write, surf the net, and have your close friends over at your place. I used to visit my friend a lot and bring in take out from different places and it was so much fun. You can also try to pamper yourself at home, doing your nails or hair at the comfort of your house. Start watching TV shows that you missed out when you were too busy :-) I hope that helped!
*update:
- more Quraan
-friends, good friends were coming over to give me company :)

It's not so bad for the baby to come after 36 weeks. As the doctor said, don't worry too much.
Preterm is not always premature
All the best.
the worst part is almost done. The fun starts once you have a new baby in the house (don't believe the horror stories)
Regardless of whether the baby is born premature, small for dates (at the right time but too small) or "macrosomic" (too big for it's age). You'll still love it and most things tend to fix themselves with time.
Oh and that doctor should be shot; I may lack bedside manner but at least I take the time to explain things to my patients rather than just assume that they are just plain gullible and incapable of grasping child birth......
Belsalama inshallah sweety ;)
he's bored allah yhadaj ya no3ich you don't keep him occupied

how is bed rest? I hope you are doing good and not too bored :-D
If I were you, I would use my husband very very well
***Smiles Evily
Awww !
Hehe I laugh mao when I read "the baby is bored". Well let me tell you, it really is true that you can prepare the baby and his personality while he's still in there.
So having positive ideas, thoughts, and listening to good music is going to influence the cute little creature within you.
And I don't like the 'lay all 14 days' thing, it's just unnatural to me..
Have your close friends over and i don't know.. have fun !
Hope the baby sticks in there for a little longer :)
يحليله والله البيبي اللي مال و يبي يطلع لوووووووول سلم قلبه
بس عاد اتوقع اذا طلع بيتحسف و يندم على لهفته على هالدنيا !!
بس عالعموم ان شالله يقعد و ينطر و ما يطلع الا بعد 3 أسابيع عشان تكمل فرحتج
و مبروك مقدما
:)

Sing to your baby! Talk to your baby! S/he already loves your voice! You can read Qur'an to your baby!
*sara:
ee i get al 6alg al kathib like twice a week :p
specially when i go to bed ..
i feel pain go from the center of my back cicles around my waist .. then goes back to the center again ..
i just read Qura`an untill i fall asleep .. so its not that bad ..
when ever u feel pain dont panic .. it will only get worst .. just try to relax with du3a2 and Qura`an ..
and this is my first child so i never experienced 6alg before .. al7imdellah i feel im prepared not very afraid of it :) try to do the same.
*intl:

watch this video .. hope it will help..
in bed try to have as many pillows as u can for support ..
between ur legs .. under ur thigh .. behind ur back ...
u should be as coushined as possible!
the left side is best for u and the baby.. always sleep on the left side.
hope u feel better soon :*
awww
the baby wants to come out;p
but inshalla it will be good and healthy:)
*hq:
thanks .. allah yisma3 minich :)
Oh sweetie dont worry!! I had bed rest with all 3 of mine and 7mdella all was ok. Take care of yourelf and dont think too much and dont worry too much. Remember what u feel- he feels.
When God wants him to be out- he is coming out!!! U cant stop it! And that means your son will be ready and fine enshallah. Stop worrying yourself!!! It will be fine.
I almost lost all of my babies with threatened abortions. I was pumped up on hormones for 3 months and every other day I had to get injections and on and on and on --it was a mess and I was an emotional wreck. I shouldnt have been because everything is in God hands....and what will be will be. Have faith :)
Enshallah u will complete your nine months my dear :) I forgot to add that!

(hugs)
thanks 7bebty
