Any tips & tricks for entertaining 2 toddlers while on pelvic rest?

[Busymama3]

Hi

Diagnosed with a small sch yesterday at 6w4d after over 2 weeks of brown spotting and put on pelvic rest to also include no lifting my toddlers dd 2.5 and ds 14m 😭, any exercise at all, lifting/pushing double buggy etc etc. Feeling horrendous mom guilt and it's only day 1 😭 Does anyone have any tips and tricks to share please that might be something new we've not done before.

Thanks in advance!

Sensory tubs? Loads of ideas on Pinterest

You poor thing!

some ideas:

• homemade play dough


• water painting on patio / drive way


• sensory ideas on Pinterest are amazing but might require some cleaning them up afterwards / picking them up and putting them in the bath- maybe get them to climb into the bath first and do the activities in there so you can shower them off or get them to do it outside and hose them off if it’s warm?


• my friend swears by letting them paint each other with non-toxic finger paints (I haven’t done it though)
