Most people think that bed rest is fun and relaxing; however, if you ask a pregnant mom who has been on bed rest for a few days they will quickly disagree with you. After a few days, most mom’s are bored out of their mind because they have already caught up on their favorite shows on the DVR and watched several movies. If you find yourself on bed rest, you should find some things to keep you busy so that you don’t go crazy sitting at home. Here are some ideas to keep you busy while you are on bed rest.

Create a Scrapbook for Your Baby
Many people want to remember special moments in their life and scrapbooking is a great way to capture those memories.

I spent 20 weeks on bedrest. Old fashioned phone conversations made the biggest difference! Stuck in bed I couldn’t get together with friends and nothing compares to chatty girlfriend conversations!
