    Well TV and Musiv and Computer gets boring sometimes so I say take up knitting or something and that way you can knit something for your baby, also if you are tired you can start watching a show, get started on one and watch all the seasons, like the office, or phsyc, or some show like that, and you can also do research on something that interests you over the computer, on something that fascinates you, like the holocaust, or a country or world wars, other things. Also get to know a lot of things on babies, like names, and other things...what to do with him/her when she's born, but in no time your baby will be born and all this will be worth it...hope I helped

    you could plan your babies life lol maybe not, that would not help with B/P. You should do a variety of things so you don't get bored, reading writing, watching tv, play games such as sudoku - keep your brain busy and don't overeat. if you have a laptop/webcam in bed, you could visit blogtv and broadcast how you are feeling, or blog it. You could take up knitting - keep your mind and hands busy. it can be therapeutic and with the time you have you could have a cool blankie for your newborn, nice story for when he/she is older. 'back when you were a bump, i was sooooo bored on bedrest i took up knitting, and made your very first blanket'. You could always put the radio on in the background. You watch videos on youtube and laugh at the ridiculous characters on there. Anyhoo, i hope this gives you some ideas and good luck with the birth... =D

    I even have on no account been pregnant yet i replaced into on bedrest for a mutually as when I had surgical treatment... I did a super style of ingesting and dozing! yet enable's see... in case you had to do some thing somewhat greater exciting/stimulating i'd say watch a action picture, paint your nails, do a crossword or sudoku puzzle, study, do some leg lifts, write a quick tale or a music, or maybe knit some booties to your coming toddler! i wish a minimum of a few of those are eye-catching. =)

    I had to be on bedrest with my last baby starting at 19 weeks because I went into early labor. That is when my husband got me a laptop! I also got one of those breakfast trays that has little legs. I painted a lot, read a lot of good books, and watched movies. Most of the time my kids would come sit in bed with me and watch movies or I would read to them, even though my MIL was at my house every day helping with them, but it helped to occupy my time by spending a lot of good quality time with them before their baby sister came (which was born very healthy at 38 weeks!)

    Maybe you could get a computer game or something if you have a laptop. While I was on bed rest I played the Sims2...lol. Have someone rent some movies for you or get you some books and magazines to read. Bedrest stinks, I feel for you!

    You could crochette, knit, cross-stitch, watch TV, play computer games, play video games, write in a journal..

    I know bedrest is boring as heck - I was on it for 3 weeks during my pregnancy due to pre-term labor. I just got involved in online forums and played games, wrote in my journal and even wrote part of a book (that will probably never be finished lol)

    create a memory book for the baby, keep monthly tracks of your preg. including your weight, pictures, measurement of your belly etc.

    Sleep, because when the little one comes you wished you did.
