Bed Rest
I am officially on bed rest.
I had a fainting episode last weekend and banged up my face really bad (black eye, two chipped front teeth, busted lip, etc.) Since they don't know what exactly caused it and I still get dizzy they put me on bed rest. I am 34 weeks as of yesterday. I already feel like I am going to go crazy after a week. Not to mention this was obviously not in the plans we had and is going to hurt us financially since I planned on working until as long as I can and my job is less than thrilled.
So I was hoping for some advice, encouragement, or some ideas of what I can do to get through the next 6 weeks!

Re: Bed Rest
That stinks, but just remember you're doing what's best for you and your LO in the end. What a scary fall you had, ouch!
Do you have a nook or a kindle? I think getting lost in a good book helps time fly, I do this on my commute on the LIRR all the time. Maybe you can make plans with family & friends to visit here and there so you don't get too bored/lonely? Best of luck and rest up

Re: Bed Rest
Wow, sorry that you are going through this
I have been on bedrest for 3 weeks and a few more days to go. It has sucked, I'll be honest. I still get out a little bit because I am quite an active person. But, I won't go anywhere by myself (important especially for you).
I have been able to work from home, so that takes up some time. Otherwise, I have been on my laptop on LIF and FB a lot 
See if a friend can come over even for a few hours. It will give you something to look forward to

Re: Bed Rest
I so feel for people on bed rest. I don't know how you do it. My butt kills me just sleeping at night, I can't imagine having to be in there all day. I know the end result is worth it, but my hiney aches thinking about it.
I hope you have tons of things to keep you occupied.
