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

Find a favorite soap. Puzzle books keep your brain active, my husband got me a Nintendo DS with some adult type games (brain age and sudoku). Books - coloring is fun sometimes (sounds immature but when you are stuck). Needle point, scrap booking and journaling. Yahoo Anwsers!

I'll let you know as I think of more.

Good Luck Sweetie!

Oh the phone was a close friend of mine - there's always someone home!

If you have a lap top, you can go to pogo.com and play "Poppit". It is extremely addicting and it makes time go by fast.

OR

Read a book. They make my 45 minute train rides feel like 5 minutes.

hahaha SUPER EASY!

get your laptop and read all the crazy, out of the world questions and answers that people post in here

you will be surprise of the trashiness out here, and also the good people

better than Jerry springer and Maury
