what exactly do I do on bedrest lol ?

Question

My doctor told me I can't return back to work which is fine, but she also said I don't have to be chained to my bed 24/7. 
there's not really much to do around here but shower and use the bathroom, my husband will cook and do laundry etc lol And I have everything I need in my bedroom.

The only thing I would love to do is clean but when I clean I CLEAN & my husband doesn't clean like me so I haven't figured that part out yet and it's killing me.

I want to go get a mani/pedi & get my hair done next week. my hair lady's salon is literally around the corner (thank god) but my nail lady is a few blocks away (maybe 6 or 7 blocks) is it okay for me to walk there?or maybe take a cab to and from? I don't get my car until the end of next month.

I'm trying my best to stay seated and stay in bed I'm 27 weeks and I don't know what exactly to do but I would hate to overexert myself more than I already have, any tips for mommys who are on bedrest or was in a previous pregnancy?

Answer

I personally wouldn't walk there. My colleague was on bedrest and she had her nails done at home. I would ask if they do house calls. I know a lot of them do. Also maybe prepare some freezer meals for after birth. Otherwise, Netflix, Hulu and Pinterest are great to pass time. I hope you have a healthy last couple of weeks.

Answer

You can clean around the house but I definitely wouldn't walk that distance. I'm on bedrest too (my second pregnancy) and I was on it with my first as well. It sucks lol but at least it's not strict because that's really no fun.

Answer

i am on moderate bed rest too since 26 weeks now 31 weeks. you can get ur naiks done, hair salon, drive short distances, movies witg recliner chairs, restaurants.  i would not walk to any of these locations. take an uber. my doc allows me to drive up to 10 minutes to places. also no extended walking or standing for long. talk to ur ob about what u can do i did.
