6 weeks pregnant & on bedrest??

well, because u described it as light pink when you wiped yourself, it doesnt sound like anything that could be very harmful to your baby. some pregnant women have that (like me, but mine is due to a cerclage), but because of your history of miscarriages i could see why you're worried. it could be from your cervix, as sometimes the hormones from pregnancy can make the blood vessels swell there, and they may 'pop' and cause a little bit of blood, but its nothing to worry about.

about bed rest, im on modified bedrest and i think that its helping. i have an incompetent cervix, meaning my cervix dilates before labor (normally in the mid 2nd trimester). i have a cerclage (stitch) and the bed rest isnt that bad. but until you go to your OBGYN, you wont find out what the source of the bleeding was, nor will you find out whether bed rest will help. but i hope everything goes good for you.! good luck.!

CONGRATULATIONS on your up and coming wedding anniversary! It's really a time to celebrate! :) You know what I'd do in your place if I can't make the day special by going out for a nice dinner somewhere but still want to show the hubby that you care and love him all the more? I would rope in the help of someone else. He or she can be a close family friend, a sibling or mother who can organize for you without much fuss, or as a last recourse a professional caterer. Cooking can be done at your home after the hubby has left for work so that he will be greeted with a surprise when he comes home in the evening. Have a floral arrangement and romantically lit candles done on a specially set table for two inside your bedroom. Prepare his favorite food! Then have an inexpensive but meaningful (to both of you) gift which could be any memento you might have kept when he was still courting you or on the day of your marriage. If you decide on a wedding photo, make a card yourself and paste that photo on the outside then start listing down in the inside page the reasons why you love him even more! Then tell him with a hug and a kiss that you mean every word you wrote and you look forward to many more years of wedded bliss. That should make your day and his! :) From someone married now for 34 years to the same guy. Of course, we have had our ups and downs like every other couple but here we are--- keeping the promise made on the day we were wed to stay together "for better or for worse....".

If your doctor has causes to put you on bed rest at 6weeks along I would recommend you listening to your doctor. If you do have a history, then please keep it really easy for yourself. The pinkish tinge was enough of a factor to concern your doctor to put you on bedrest. I would listen to your doctor and keep hydrated; only getting up to get food and go to the bathroom. I'm sorry and I wish you the best of luck!

I am sure it is just precautionary because of your history. Pink and brown is not bad. Red is.

It does seem a bit extreme to be on bedrest for so long, but good luck!

Until you get past your first trimester, make sure you follow the doctor's orders to the FULLEST! Get plenty of rest and by all means, try to relax. Stressing is the worst possible thing you can do right now. Get a good book to read. Good Luck to you!

I know someone who got puton bedrest early for the same thing and the dr. said it stopped her from misscarrying. after that she carried the baby to full term. good luck

The best thing for you is to carry on the bed rest and when they say you have come off bed rest then only do light things .....Take things easy...

Good Luck

Sadly there is nothing you can do but bed rest will help and i know its hard but try not to stress and prey as well that helped me I wish you the best of luck

You'll find that doctors treat almost everything in pregnancy with bedrest.Listen to them-they're trying to prevent a miscarriage.Good luck.

in my opinion, if you are destined to miscarry, you will. but i guess it couldn't hurt to be on the safe side... good luck and lots of sticky baby dust to you! drink lots of water while you're off your feet, too, ok?
