I'm now at 25 w, 3 d and was diagnosed with a short cervix at 24 w, 2 d. Bedrest is definitely not easy, but just thankful it's modified bedrest this time around, since my first pregnancy, I was put on both strict bedrest at home, then at the hospital. With a 2 1/2 year old, very active toddler, it's definitely been an adjustment, but I, too, have wonderful help with my parents while my hubby's working and my hubby's been great when he is home, too.
My daughter keeps me entertained when she's not running around playing with my parents during the day, and I've been doing a lot of web reading/ surfing during the day, and been keeping myself occupied with movies/ tv at night when my pg insomnia kicks in! I find focusing in on the goal of making it full-term (we are shooting to make it to 37 w!) and staying in touch with my girlfriends has really helped to keep my spirits up and knowing it's ok to vent when my emotions are running crazy. Having a very understanding hubby is a big help, also, because he does know how I really want to be up and moving!
Hang in there and keep us updated...you can do it!
