Second, I need to tell you something as a first-time Mom that I wish more people had told me… babies are unpredictable. Labours are unpredictable. Deliveries are unpredictable. I noticed that you mentioned several “stats” – ie, babies born before 37 weeks are more likely to have respiratory problems, feeding problems, and problems breastfeeding. Although these things may be true to a point, there are NO black & white rules when it comes to labour. I had a perfect, problem-free pregnancy, and my firstborn was a week late – and I still ended up with an emergency C-section, a week long stay in the hospital, and was not able to breastfeed.
Please don’t take my words as discouraging – I am just trying to elaborate that stats aren’t always reflective of reality; and you shouldn’t let the statistics frighten you. Obviously you want a safe, healthy pregnancy; and we all wish that for you – but please don’t stress yourself out worrying about “the rules”.
Also, please keep in mind that you could be a week ahead already – the ‘weeks’ you are pregnant is not an exact science.

I hope you’re able to make it to 39 weeks. Only a few weeks isn’t bad at all, in terms of bed rest! Hope you’re able to make it as enjoyable as possible.

I ended up going into labor on my due date– so yay for that, but 7 weeks of bed rest was not my idea of a good time. As I’m sure you’re discovering. :)

As for boredom busters– the first 2 weeks were hard, but after that I was given the ok to start working from home as long as I took lots of breaks. Working ended up being wonderful in lots of ways– it beat boredom, but it gave me a purpose and a reason to be up and showered by 8am, connected me to co-workers/ made me feel less lonely, and it helped me feel more in control of the situation in that I could check more things off of my pre-maternity leave list. So my best boredom buster idea is to work if you can, or if not, do some other big, non-physically strenuous project that you’ve been wanting to do but never had time for.

I have been resisting candy crush saga, saving it for when I am in dire need! I hear it is addictive!

I made it to 38 weeks and now I have a healthy, wonderful 8 week old baby. If you’re not playing Candy Crush, that was my biggest time-waster while laying around. I hope the next few weeks go quickly for you and blobby hangs out until it’s really time!

We used gotoob bottles to bring shared shampoo, lotion, and body wash (skipped conditioner) we also shared tooth paste and each bright a small travel size of deoderent. I kept my makeup to the bare minimum. I did however bring my hair straightener.
