What do you do with toddlers when on bed rest?

Question

So, I’m PRETTY sure I’m about to be put on bedrest I can barely walk.  I’m cramping all the time. I nearly pass out constantly. But I’m the sole caretaker of my wild 2 almost 3 year old. 
SAHMs, what did you do with your toddler when put on bed rest? Did your spouse have to take time off? Did you hire an in home babysitter? Did you have family to help? How did you cope?

Answer

It was tough. He didn’t understand and wanted a lot of mommy time. So, here’s what we did. My MIL and mother came to help and alternated each day. It was hard to let go of the control of my house. So, I took everything in small incriminates. I was on for 21 days. It felt longer. 
I played with my toddler in my bed too. We’d play puppets, trucks, and read books. I also arranged play dates for him to go to with our friends and signed up for a part time Mother’s Day out program through church. He probably had more fun than when I was on bed rest. 😂
Good luck!

Answer

You will need someone’s help. They won’t be able to help themselves.

Answer

I was put on bed rest when I was 7 months. I had a 6 year old and was doing it alone. There was no bed rest for me. I had to get up and go about my day like normal (minus work since I was put on bed rest). I made it full term thankfully.
