being taken off work

in March 2017 Moms
any other mama's being removed from work? I have asked my doctor to give me til the 20th as I have two short weeks coming up. But after that I'm off--my multiple sclerosis and blood pressure are why the obgyn is saying it's time to rest. I'm due March 15th and literally have no idea what I'm gunna do with myself.  I worked until a week before my due date with DS.

    No experience, but maybe now would be a good time to pick up a new hobby?

    There are some great tutorials on youtube by the Crochet Crowd.

    Does crochet use a lot of fine motor skills? I get a lot of numbness in my hands from my MS

    It can be tough if you get numbness anyway, but if you use thicker yarn and hold the hook and yarn loosely, that should help. Crocheting is what I do when I need to relax. It's so therapeutic!

     If I had to stay home from this point on, I might try working on photo books, read, catch up with friends I've been meaning to reach out to, make a labor music playlist, catch up on those little to-dos around the house, etc. And now I'm kinda jealous! Good luck!
