bedrest

Can someone give me some ideas to cope with bedrest? I'm on bedrest only allowed to use the bathroom and take a shower and also on pelvic rest. I have no problem with the pelvic rest. I just am having a hard time with the bedrest.. I just want to get up and walk around...

These are all great ideas! I can't wait to try some tomorrow. I'm working on his baby blanket tonight :) hard to sleep with the pain of contractions with only tylenol!

Make a scrapbook for baby.  Leave blank spaces for all the pictures and just do the pages. A page or 2 for each month. Plus any other fun pages like first bath, coming home etc. You should be able to order supplies online.    Actually Shop online lots for anything! Pinterest everything. Do a baby registry online. Watch tv without feeling guilty that you are neglecting dishes etc cuz that will never happen again!  Just take it easy so you dont end up on bed rest at the hospital because that is waaaay worse.  Good luck to you!

I would take up knitting or crochet that's what I did and when I got bored of that I had books by my side to help me relax just unfortunately have to keep your mind preoccupied
