Bed rest in early pregnancy?
I am about 9 weeks pregnant, and yesterday had some bleeding in the morning. I went into the clinic and she told me it was nothing serious, and everything looked good but that I should take bed rest until it stops completely. I am in a foreign country, and though I speak some of the language and the doctor speaks a good amount of english, I was left a little unclear about just how bedresty bed rest is supposed to be, and just how serious a problem this might be. Its around the time when I would normally be getting my period, and the bleeding is slight. At first it was red, and now it is just brown spotting. Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I be literally in bed all day or can I take the dog out and do laundry, or go to the neighbors place to watch a movie? For now I am erring on the side of caution, and hoping that when I go in for another checkup in a week she gives me the clear to get back to a regular routine.

im going to be 7 weeks monday and i have been on bedrest since like 4. weeks cause of this spotting situations. anyways my doctor said my bedrest was "complete" bed rest. i should only be sitting up to go to bathroom, lay on my left side as much as possible, and pretty much just relax. trust me i am SO bored. i was staying at my moms for a while due to hubby working and then we came down my house (cause i missed my dogs) the only time im really allowed to go anywhere is docs even though i have gone shopping with my mom for groceries but i have to ride in those damn scooters and im only 25 and since im not showing yet its like ahh embarrassing. anyways i just wanted to share my story. i have a threatened miscarriage so as little strain as i put on my uterus the better. plus its kinda okay gettin pampered haha. ( i play alot of games online and actually went and bought coloring books and puzzles haha. ) good luck on your
pregnancy.
