I would have to go to my moms I live an hour away from all my family it will just be hard for my hubby to have to b without me and his baby girl for that long I'm supposed to lay down as much as possible. I'm just praying the baby stays in as long as possible.

I would put on bed rest recently and my Dr practically told me I can get up to go use the bathroom.. and get food if there's no one else but make it snacks nothing i had to cook.. I have a 2 year old and my fiance works midnights.. We ended up sending my little guy to Grandma's for the week.. I would definitely look into options if you have them to get the best rest possible

It depends on how strict your bedrest is. I was put on bedrest at 32 weeks and was told to take it easy and lay down as often as I could. At 34 weeks I was put on extreme bedrest where I was only allowed to leave my bed to use the restroom. I had a 2 year old so that possed a big problem for me. I ended up having family and friends take shifts where they'd come over and help with my daughter while my husband was at work. I'd either have people come over and help or go to your moms.
