I cannot imagine being on bed rest from 16 weeks or 20 — y’all are amazing.
I keep saying to my husband how grateful I am that I didn’t have to be in the hospital for bed rest.
Rachel, your books look amazing. Doing a children’s book is a wonderful idea.

I did 20 weeks on bedrest in the hospital with a 2 year old at home. Family and friends helped out immensely and I wrote 2 books based on my experience. One Recumbent Mommy: A Humorous Encounter With Bedrest, a memoir, and Wherever I Am, I Will Love You Still: A Book About An Extended Hospital Stay, a picture book written from my son’s perspective.

I’m 16 weeks and on bedrest till the end.I have a cervical stitch in place but my cervix is very bad.I have a 3year old and a 1year old so its difficult being on bed rest.but my hubby got me all these colouring in books,crafts I can do with the 3yr old while sitiing down which has helped my son.but my 1year old is quite an active lad.but they keep each other company at least.and unfortunately tv days ie pepper pig(I’m in uk) days!I am counting the days or weeks till the end.which I hope is nearer to 36 weeks.x

I’m into week 9 on bedrest now — the end of bed rest is in sight!
Anyone else want to commiserate, either in it now or having been there before?
