So today my doctor just put me on bedrest and I have never had to just sit at home and do nothing! lol What have you ladies done to keep yourself busy while on bedrest? I would like to make my mom a mother's day gift too, any ideas? I only have two weeks to go but I know I am going to go crazy...

Talk on the phone~ watch favorite movies~write in a journal~
paint, read books magazines whatever makes you happy, sing to yourself,get massages from family/friends~order in your favorite foods~
listen to music~ drink smoothies in bed--enjoy the quiet-pray
paint your nails,toenails, do spa treatments facials~
play cards~
pretend your on vacation--cuz you are--and just have loads of fun entertaining yourself--or make other people come over and entertain you-lol~

I have never been pregnant but I was on bedrest for a while after I had surgery... I did a lot of eating and sleeping! But let's see... if you wanted to do something a little more fun/stimulating I would say watch a movie, paint your nails, do a crossword or sudoku puzzle, read, do some leg lifts, write a short story or a song, or even knit some booties for your coming baby!
I hope at least a few of these are appealing. =)

I am not on bedrest by any doctors orders but find if I am not sitting in bed I swell kind of badly so half the day I spend in bed. I just sit here with the laptop on yahoo answers, watch television, fold laundry, do latch hook kits from the craft store.

I was on bedrest from 32 weeks till 38 weeks with my first. It was torture. But atleast it was around the holidays so I was able to wrap presents, decorate the house and bake.
I would bake (pies, brownies, cookies etc), read some books from the library, you can even get movies from the library, I did some paint by numbers stuff (I suck at painting freely), make a scrap book for when your baby is born.

i was on tem bedrest but you can still do little things like
tv
radio
word searches
comouter
masterbation...helps woth labor and reduces risk of tearing during delivery
get the babys room ready
bedrest doesnt actually mean staying in bed or on the couch all day its just to take an easy and not to push your self so hard
