Anyone else on Modified Bed Rest?

I am advied to be on modified not strict BR for one week. This is day one and I slept most of it. Well, at least I feel alittle less stressed...and my right leg swelling went down.

For those that are in the same boat as me, what are you girls doing to remain sane? Reading a book, watching movies? what are some other positive things we can do? I can't have any bed fun, so that is out of the question... I mean with Dh of course.

Re: Anyone else on Modified Bed Rest?

i was on strict bed rest for over 20 weeks
hardest 20 weeks of my entire life!!!

i found that keeping a journal helped me stay sane. i also watched a ton of tv, read books and magazines and played way too many online games

good luck and hang in there!!!

Re: Anyone else on Modified Bed Rest?

On week 3 of bedrest and praying for 3 more weeks so I make it to 36wks! It's really really hard and I have a 22month old! My dh is home on the weekends and my mom comes during the week and sometimes I go there if dh works late and we stay a few days. I watch way to much tv, read books, mags, watch hulu to catch up on shows, internet, sims 3, snuggle with my dd, read with her, and try to play the best I can with her. It's really hard, but it's worth it imho. I was on strict bedrest with Emmy for 3wks. I was off bedrest and procardia at 36w0d, on 36w1d I took a shower, got dressed, and went to the mall to get a christmas gift, it was christmas eve, 10 min into the trip my water broke and at 36w2d my dd was born.......for me bedrest works and so I keep that in mind!
