Bed Rest.

So I Live With My Husband 18, Mother In Law 35 & 3 Sister In Laws 9,11 & 15 and  also my husbands cousin 34.

Im 16weeks Pregnant & went To The Hospital The Other Day & The Dr Put Me On Bed Rest.

My Family Doesn't Seem To Know What Bed Rest Means.. How Do I Explain It To Them Without Being Sarcastic?

Whyd they put you on bedrest? What kind of bedrest is it? I'm on strict bedrest but it started out as modified bedrest. I'm only allowed up 10 minutes out of the day and that's to use the bathroom and shower or bathe. Not even allowed to get myself food. My husband didn't understand what that meant till I had the doctor write down everything I wasn't allowed to do
