house arrest
| that's the term i choose to describe my condition right now. doctor advised that i should take it easy, not to do too much walking, and try to rest as much as possible. in short, he means i should be on bedrest until my next check-up on the 24th. last friday was my 31st week check-up and i complained to him that i've been feeling some pressure in my pelvic area, so he did an i.e. and checked. he said that the baby is lying a bit low... not to low but still low. so he recommended me to take meds that will suppress contractions and another one for the heart because the first one has an effect on the heart. the news saddened me, as we were planning to go to disneyland for my birthday. but then i should rest. hopefully, come the 24th, he'll tell me it's ok and that i can start doing the walks now... and then we will go to disneyland! :) i'm also sad for my little boy, he goes on house arrest with me, as well. nobody else can bring him to the playground, but he doesn't seem bored, anyway so i guess it's ok for him, too. i planned to bring him to the playground today but it's a bit chilly and cloudy, so better wait for the weekend instead, when his dad can run after him while i just sit in one spot enjoying the view. hoping that things will be better in the coming weeks. and i think it will... i've been feeling a lot better since i've taken the meds and been taking it easy. getting up from bed and from my seat is not that much of a challenge... things are looking a bit bright for me! maybe i'll see the disney castle before the month ends! :) |
