bed rest

I've been put on bed rest and feel like i can't do my regular things i used to do. I feel like a worthless mother to my girl's bc can't do much with them. one is 2 and the other is 5 yrs. I am 11 weeks and 3 days and can't do much bc my placenta gas a hole or something and I've been bleeding and have pain in my back. I am sad and depress bc i had not been much of a mother to my girls.

aww, I'm sorry you have to be on bed rest.  Maybe you can send your husband or someone else to the library once per week and bring a bunch of children's books. At that age,  kids usually love to read with mommy.  Also,  try coloring books or other arts and crafts things.

Have you tried setting up a game in the room where youre resting that you can "coach" or "referee"? Like get together some rabdom objects and have a bowling tournament. Cheer them on when they knock "pins" down? I know theyre young but just interaction like that im sure will make you all feel reconnected. Or have a movie night and make popcorn.
