As it says, need a moan, although any ideas on how to survive virtual bed rest without going insane gratefully received.
I'm 29 weeks, high risk due to 2 previous prem babies (now 5 and 7, DS1 has ASD and really struggling with Xmas/end of term/teacher leaving/mummy not well/fear of Father Christmas coming). I have an irritable uterus and a bit of SPD. Basically whenever I stand up for more than about a minute, walk anywhere, go up or down stairs etc I get contractions (not full on labour-type ones but worse than Braxton Hicks) and SPD pain down my left leg. Baby's head is already right down and cervix starting to efface, I'm to go straight into hospital if contractions get stronger/more regular - as long as I do nothing they're not bad at the moment but it's meant effectively I'm stuck on the sofa or in bed.
I know it's much better to have me at home, unable to do anything but still pregnant rather than have to be in and out of hospital or to go into labour this early. It's just so frustrating. Dh is off work until Jan 2nd thankfully but normally he is working long hours and I do 90% of the household stuff, so he's not used to having to do all the cleaning/cooking/dealing with children and I hate having to keep telling him what needs doing while I lie there feeling useless. I'm doing as much with the boys as I can (board games, reading to them etc.).
I'm just a bit fed up really, would love to get to 34 weeks or so in the hope of avoiding SCBU but the thought of another month of this is really depressing.
Moan moan moan!
