Claire StevesGUEST
If you have four days of complete bed rest, studies have shown you can absolutely massively...

Schuyler HurwitzHOST
I was partially bedridden for my pregnancy.
Schuyler HurwitzHOST
What's a cerclage? It's a stitch they put in your cervix that just keeps it closed because I was at risk for preterm delivery.

Schuyler HurwitzHOST
Right.
Schuyler HurwitzHOST

I obviously lose my muscles because that's what happens when you're not moving.
Eline DukHOST
I lose flexibility and mobility in my joints, my knee and my ankle, which we haven't noticed.
Eline DukHOST
definitely noticed and at the same time I'm getting heavier and heavier obviously and dealing with this dilemma of I need to be in bed rest because it's better for the pregnancy yet at the same time for my own body and further on in the pregnancy I need to move my body yeah I've I still kind of feel like I'm stuck in this rut of like what do I do where do I go and I feeling how my leg is deteriorating week by week is really hard and really scary and i know what's coming is not going to make it easier yeah as i said like i'm going to get heavier so i kind of need my leg and it's it's it's also the but that's what we touched upon in the first episode of disappointment or like yeah the disappointment of how my body is is dealing with the pregnancy The way it's dealing with it, it's also surrendering to it because I don't have a choice.
Eline DukHOST
And it's the fear and especially the insecurity.
