Im on my maternity break and sitting at home whole day is making me so bored and restless. Third trimester so cant do much physical stuff either. How did u guys pass time without going crazy?
I spent time on light meditation, reading and listening to calming music. It kept my mind peaceful and positive. Doing things that relax you is good for both you and baby.
Dont feel pressured to be productive yaar, rest is also doing something. I journaled, called friends and napped guilt free. Enjoy this slow phase, it doesnt last.
Honestly between work and rest I barely found free time, but light reading and prepping baby stuff kept me occupied. I made small to do lists for the nursery. Slow productive tasks felt nice without tiring me out.
Lol I became a pro at binge watching shows and online baby shopping. Also started a half hearted knitting attempt that never finished. Whatever keeps you happy and relaxed yaar, go for it.
