on bedrest and very depressed. any activities you found helpful/entertaining?

Question

It's only going to be a total of 2 weeks but damn this isn't my style. Idk where the depression came from but it sucks. I'm getting induced this Friday - so I feel ridiculous feeling this way.

Please no mean comments.

Answer

I crochet self thought through YouTube :)

Answer

I've been on modified bedrest since the end of September. I totally get the depression. I try to do a lot of crafty things to keep my mind off everything.

Answer

When I was on bestest due to surgery, I bought jewelry making supplies and made earrings in bed :)

Answer

Doodles on youtube called draw so cute. Super easy and fun !!!

Answer

You could start your baby registry if you're on strict bed rest! If your doctor recommends, you could go for small brisk walks!

Answer

Crafts help. There are all sorts that range from easy to difficult. You could do homemade ornaments for family and friends, there's kits at Michaels, Walmart, and other crafty stores. Those tie blankets are fun. I love those for the kids, grandparents, friends. We have tons and use them for everything. They make good gifts too. Coloring books like someone mentioned. Very therapeutic. Crocheting, knitting, sewing if you know how. Keep a journal or make a baby journal for baby's first year - something to record all baby's milestones in. Write letters, send Christmas cards, watch movies or TLC if you have it. I love the baby shows. Learn something new that you've always wanted to know - language, etc. 
good luck mama and hang in there.

Answer

Sorry mama! Hang in there and remember that it's for a great reason. Maybe learn a new craft? I am relearning to crochet so I can make a blanket for my daughter. Write letters to soldiers for Christmas? I know there are groups that collect cards and letters and send them to soldiers overseas.

Hope these 2 weeks fly by for you!

Answer

You can watch movies or your favourite TV shows if you have a laptop but to be honest I could never watch anything long enough. I felt better actually doing things so if you like arts and crafts, you could draw or knit or make something. I found activities where I'm actually doing something more comforting and time would go by faster.

Answer

Honestly, the idea of bedrest is a nightmare to me, so I totally understand.  Just keep your eyes on the prize- your precious little one is almost here!!!! Yay!!!!

Answer

Adult coloring books can help pass the time..or read a book if you're into that. You can always do your nails or write up some Christmas cards to send relatives and friends.
