placenta Privara with a toddler

MrsSewall

I don't have 2 yet but my second is only months away.  I have been diagnosed with Placenta privara.  So far just Pelvic rest and not over doing it.  I know bed rest is a possibility eventually.  Has this happened to anyone with a toddler at home?  I am a stay at home mom so i don't get much time to rest.  Any suggestion on any of this would be helpful?  Especially if I end up on Bed rest?

I ended up on strict bed rest at home while pregnant with #2 (following almost 4 weeks of hospital bed rest) at 31 weeks.  DD started going to daycare when I was in the hospital.  DH adjusted his work schedule so that he could take her and pick her up.  We have no family in town, so we had to rely on sitters on the days that he had to work late or on weekends.
