bed rest is boring

I was put on bed rest at 36w2d for high blood pressure. After 4 days of this, i'm bored and restless. Mostly because I don't 'feel' bad. I feel fine. I don't have the other warning signs of preeclampsia but my bp is still high. I want to be productive. It's hard to do nothing and follow dr orders.

So I lay here and rest and communicate with the outside world thru modern technology because I want my baby to cook a little longer and I don't want to be induced this early. I hope she stays inside for another 9 days minimum. After that, come what may.

    I was on bed rest for 2.5 months with my last LO. Yes, it's boring. Try watching some seasons of a show on Hulu to pass time :

    I'm not on bed rest but I've stopped working. Everything is pretty much done and ready for baby. I started watching Dawson's Creek on netflix lol.

    I was on bedrest with DD#1 starting at 30 weeks. (Also for high blood pressure.) I remember playing a lot of Farmville. Haha.

    I also stopped working but am not on bed rest. I can see how you get restless!! Try a routine/ schedule. Morning on couch, afternoon on bed. Or I limit the shows I watch and then between write thank you cards, read, do yoga, sit on floor in nursery and organize, etc! Otherwise just enjoy the quiet! Good luck :)
