Sending lots of **good vibes** to Anne and her little baby that just cannot wait to get out! Wait a little, just a little bit longer now, hon, still need a little more strength from Mommy first!
A friend of mine went through something similar. The major stress here should be....."when the doctor says bed rest the doctor MEANS bed rest". My friend hated it but she stayed off her feet and her son was born perfectly normal and very healthy 2 weeks before his due date.
I'm adding my prayers and sending happy thoughts and warm wishes.
, we're anxious to meet you, too, but hang on, OK? And, Mum -- take care of you and don't worry about us. Lotsa good vibes and prayers on their way to you both.
The best thing for her is the bedrest and staying *well hydrated*. The 1 cm is no big deal, but the effacement means those contractions were having some effect, so here's to the medicine, bedrest, *liquids* (strong hint, drink, drink, drink that water!) and all the prayers giving her another 3-4 weeks.
Anne just called and she is doing fine. She is in bed and will remain there. The pills make her groggy so she is doing a lot of sleeping. Hubby is home helping with the house and with Ron and she just wanted me to thank everyone for her. The contractions finally stopped late yesterday.
