34 weeks & complete bedrest

So I am 34 weeks today, I'm on complete bed rest.
Only time I'm supposed to get up is to take a shower or use the bathroom.
The physical therapist at the hospital suggested I find a new hobby to do in bed that will help make having to stay in bed easier. Any suggestions?

Practice sleeping for extended periods of time. I got really good at it toward the end of my pregnancy. Slept a minimum of 12 hours each day, usually up to 16. Certainly made the days go by quickly.

crochet... download gimp and some digital kits and play around on there... majong! lol

I'm sorry you are on bedrest though

Lol, I've tried. I can't sleep that long though  

Start knitting things for baby! Or Christmas gifts. Hope the time flies!

Good ideas !  

Oh thanks ! it does suck. The latest they are letting me go is to 38 weeks, but it will probably more like 37 weeks so too much longer luckily

Hmm. Writing? I wrote most of the time I was awake.

Crochet, knitting...you can get yarn and cheap kit to make knitted hats and play around with those and make one for every single member of your family and a ton for your kiddo.

If you have the money and enjoy reading, you can also invest in an ereader and get reading all the fantastic books you won't have time for when the baby comes. lol

At least you don't have too much longer.

Gimp is like photoshop but it's free. and you can get free kits to play with and decorate pictures and stuff. I hope you find something to help keep you from being too bored

I have a nook   I have tons of books, I'll definitely read a few.
I've never crocheted ,  
I so think I should learn though !

Awesome   I'll have to try that out. I used to edit pics and try to make siggys and stuff ALL the time.

A knitting kit is so much easier if you're just brand new to the whole thing. lol

Something like this makes hats, and Walmart sells it. lol Kept me busy pre-baby.
