I was put on modified bed rest until I'm at least 36 weeks- so that's about a month for me! How are you other moms dealing? Any tips, advice, crafts, movies, books, to help deal with the down time?
I just got put on Bed rest too due to high Bp. I feel like I'm in jail. I realize it's much better for baby to stay in for a couple more weeks (35weeks 5days here), but man I would not be upset if he had to come early. (i certainly would never try to induce myself so don't hear me say that). I've gotten bored with Netflix and have started rereading the Harry potter series. Any other suggestions to relieve boredom a bit?
I was put on bed rest at 27 weeks, having a routine helps, I read, work on puzzles, try to sit outside for at least an hour a day... Sitting in front of the tv makes the days way to long. Also try to set up phone calls/ FaceTime with your friends and family to catch up.. Naps are also nice too!!
Try learning a new hobby! Like learning to crochet is fairly simple and you can keep yourself busy making cute hats, blankets, etc for your LO I learned by watching YouTube videos.
I got put on modified bed rest. I'm still allowed to go to my classes but other than that I've been instructed to "lay low". Luckily it will only be for a week or two since I'm 37.5 weeks and I have plenty of schoolwork. XP
