Sage-

34 weeks!! Woohoo. I understand the mental torment that goes along with bedrest. I was on br with both my children for about 10+ weeks each. After the initial joy of resting, there is nothing else to do but sit there and think.

It's great that you recognize it and you are trying to change your mindset. As far as feeling badly about being a "burden" well, if you asked H if he felt you were a burden what do you honestly think his response would be? Your carrying his child, and you are having complications, maybe the fact that you are on br and need help from H makes he feel needed and wanted, and that he has an active role in your pregnancy. Can you change your mindset to think that instead of feeling like a burden?

I'm glad that some of your restrictions were lifted. I remember when I was finally allowed to be up for more then 15 minutes a day.....it was like a new found freedom! Both my children were premature and very tiny at birth...but they are healthy and thriving children. Take it easy though, both on your body and mind.

I'm moving on...at last I can see...life has been patiently waiting for me.
