I was in the hospital last night but home now. I was having some small contractions and my cervix is short. Any bed rest advice...how did you pass the time?
Visitors! See if you can have 1 person come each day. More than that and you'll get worn out (IMO). Bonus if they come for lunch and bring you something. I have been on modified bedrest for the last 2 weeks and it's been so helpful to have a friendly face come by and say hello for a short while.
I was on bed rest for 2 months (5 weeks hospitalized). I was lucky in that I got to keep working remotely and that was a HUGE sanity saver. I worked right up until our emergency c-section at 34 weeks.
The one thing I wanted to do on bed rest that I never got to was watch all the Sex & the City episodes and count how many men each character slept with. Silly, but it was my bed rest consolation prize.
Re: well I'm on bed rest
the internet and trashy romance novels
ETA: I also taught myself to crochet by watching YouTube
