What happened to me? Have I been hit by a truck?? Finally, fresh air after 9 weeks of smelly bed rest.
I was soo focused on finally getting pregnant. Thus, I assumed the rest is going to be walk in the park.
Well, how would I guess about bleeding due to hematomas, placenta separations, more progesterone shuts, hyperemesis, insomnia and the constipation. Yet, this has been the most amazing time of my life. For most, we are witnessing one stubborn embryo, who is surviving against all odds; I had to have progesterone shuts daily about three weeks due to nasty hematoma, I have been in bed rest because of 40% placenta separation from uterus and suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum which made me lost over 20 lbs in over a month. At times, I was put to sleep for hours and fed with a drip system. At the end of week 15, I am eating half a jar of Nutella thanks to oral meds.
Bottom line is, even though tiring and emotionally exhausting at times, now I am beginning to understand what it is like to worry for a being other than yourself. My body has been through a lot and all I can think of is the baby's health. I also grow soo much appreciation for my body. I did not know how much it can handle, how far it can carry me. It still amazes me. I used to hate my hips but all the time I could not eat, the baby was consuming my stocks. Soo I am glad I saved all those potato fries on my hips. They proved to be useful???
Well, we will see.
Best part of bed rest is online shopping and catching up with Youtube videos. I come across lots of inspiring videos and acquired some very necessary makeup items. I am looking forward to share as soon as I get back my energy which is building rapidly. Soon!!!!!!
