Bedrest - going stir crazy

6 replies

I'm 7 weeks and have been put on bedrest. I'm a week in and so bored. Might be because I'm not at home (yes, I'm on a long awaited AI holiday and stuck in the room), we fly home on Wednesday. Any survival tips? Advice? Luckily my hubby is amazing and my 4 year old is having a great time. It's just me that's a moaning mini!

It's crap isn't it. I'm 6 weeks and am just starting my second week of lying in bed watching Netflix due to severe morning sickness. Bored out of my skull.

You're not alone! How come you're on bed rest?

Does bed rest mean literal resting in the bed? Can you not go on a sunlounger so you're less isolated?

No moving, toilet only and I'm up a flight of stairs. I have unexplained bleeding, I suspect the worst and apparently bedrest is the solution. After a week, it doesn't really feel like it's helping much.

How awful for you. Urgh, I'd be going crazy too... sorry, I'm not really helping am I.

Thanks all. Needed a moan. Flying home tomorrow, so looking forward to the delights of the airport on a wheelchair. 🤔
