Bed rest information

[[e-mail]]

I am anticiapting bed rest starting in January - hopefully at home with the ability to get up once a day, shower, etc...more like house arrest really. Any suggestions from moms who may have had this expereince in the past. I was previously limited in activities with last pregnancy but not to this extent - I was still able to go inot work part time, etc Just had to limit the amount of time on my feet.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, I was on bed rest for low amniotic fluid. However, my job required me to be on my feet all day long (I worked in a laboratory so I was constantly standing at the lab bench) so I actually welcomed being lazy for once and since I knew the baby would be arriving soon I savored watching daytime tv and eating cereal from the box.

I did actually do a lot around the house - cleaning, re-organizing, went to lunch with MIL, etc. Once my fluid level went back up, I was able to return to work which was good because too much sitting around made me antsy.

Good luck.
