Hi ladies,

So I've been on bedrest for 5 weeks now due to a rescue cerclage and shortening cervix. I am absolutely starting to loose my mind. I have tried to start different activities and it helps but the days and weeks just drag. Any good tips on how to get through this? Also, I was doing so good with my weight until this happened and now I'm packing it on due to not moving at all. I know I can't diet so any tips there on how to keep weight gain sensible? I will do anything to make sure my little one is safe but i have two months to go and this is getting so hard :( sorry to complain just looking for some advice and people in my situation ,, thanks ladies and happy Monday!

    Aw, so sorry you are stuck on bed rest. I can only imagine the boredom. Don't have any experience or advice, but just wanted you to know I am thinking of you.

    @Danielle0311‌ I'm new to the bed rest club! I just had an emergent cerclage last Thursday. It's been 4 days but it feels like 4 months. Im about to go crazy. All I do is eat, sleep, Google dumb crap, an eat again. I'm sending hugs your way. We are in this together!

    Oh I'm sure that you are going stir crazy.  All I can suggest regarding weight gain is to try to eat as healthy as possible and hope for the best - there is not much you can do to keep the weight off.

    Other suggestions would be to binge watch some tv on netflix or a similar streaming app.

    Big ((HUGS)).  I don't have any experience- I can only imagine how tough it is to keep yourself entertained.  Have you started/finished your registry yet?  Many stores have the option to create online- that might be fun :)  I'm not a very crafty person, but maybe do some some searching on Pinterest and have someone make a run to Michaels for you?  Take care.

    @Danielle0311‌ I hope you don't mind me commenting on your post, I am no longer PGAL but, I went through a similar situation as you. I was 24.5 weeks whenever I had to have the emergency cerclage placed and was on bedrest the remainder of my pregnancy. What got me through it was games on the computer, Pinterest projects that I could do sitting down for baby's room, lots of visitors, and catch up on old shows/seasons of shows. Yes, it got very tiring and boring and to start with, I felt sorry for myself because I couldn't do my own daughter's nursery and whatnot but you just have to make yourself realize that this is for your precious LO and even though you don't get the experience you dreamed of, it's all worth it! I hope the remainder of your pregnancy go quick and safely! T&P headed your way!!
