okay i have been on bed rest for 3 whole days because of low fluid and i am going crazy ... how do you ladies do it (those of you who have been on Bed rest for weeks or months???)

with a lot of patience.

laptop, books, crossword/wordsearch puzzles, magazines, the telephone, tv, movies, crocheting/knitting, and making lists

that's how I made it through 11 weeks of bedrest

I was put on bed rest for a few weeks back at 28 weeks and it drove me crazy. I wrote alot of thank you notes and read up on all things pregnancy and of course was on theBump constantly. Now I force myself to be off my feet from when I get off of work to when DH gets off (5pm-10pm) in order to not be put back on. On the weekends I try to find things I can do sitting or laying down to minimize my risk of PTL again.
