Doc advised me complete bed rest for some weeks and im a little lost honestly. Can i sit up, go to washroom, eat sitting? Want to know how others managed it at ghar.
I felt so lonely and scared when I was put on complete bed rest for three weeks. I felt like I was completely helpless, but my husband set up a cozy corner with my favorite books and pillows which helped me get through it. It is hard, but it is all for your little baby.
Having a history of PCOS made me extra cautious throughout my pregnancy, so when I was advised bed rest, I followed it to the T without taking any chances. Don't try to be superwoman around the house right now. Just prioritize your rest and let others help you.
Please check with your gynac before making any assumptions about what you can or cannot do during bed rest. Every pregnancy is different, so only your doctor can tell you if you are allowed to climb stairs or sit up for meals. Safety should always come first.
Bed rest means you have to completely pause your active routine, even light prenatal yoga or walks are a strict no unless your doctor explicitly allows them. Focus on deep breathing exercises while lying down, and only resume physical activities when your gynac gives a green signal.
My doctor advised me light bed rest this week and I am finding it so hard to just lie down all day, it makes me so anxious. Have any of u been put on bed rest during the second trimester? How did u manage to stay positive and pass the time?
Make sure to ask your hospital staff exactly what level of bed rest is required—whether it's strict pelvic rest where you can't even stand up, or if light movement around the house is allowed. My hospital care coordinator gave me a detailed guidelines sheet which was extremely helpful.
