You aren't a burden at all. You're doing what is best for you and baby, dr's orders. I know being off meds is really rough at times and unfortunately you are stuck until after baby. Just know that your son loves you and you're doing a great job as a mom from the sounds of it.

My heart goes out to you. You have been through so much. Our mindset is so important to keep positive even in the toughest of times. Your son knows you love him and so does your husband. This is your husband's opportunity to shine and help around the house with meals, your son, etc. Do you have family close by that could help relieve some of the chores of cooking and cleaning from your husband? Local churches also offer programs like meals on wheels you might want to look at. Instead of seeing this as a negative situation, try to see it as an opportunity to find a hobby you can enjoy, like knitting, crocheting something for the baby, reading, writing a journal, playing games, etc. YouTube and Google provides a wealth of information on how to try new things. I struggled with depression as a teen and it was really bad after my second daughter was born. I had to learn #1 don't be so hard on myself. We all have tough times in our life that instead of focusing negatively on the circumstance, I have learned to trust God and know that something positive always comes out of those tough times. Also, I learned to give myself a break. We all try to be super mom, but there is no such thing. So when we take that expectation off of ourselves we can learn to truly enjoy the moment and give others opportunities to help which actually is very beneficial. When our husbands can help with some of the chores it is actually a bonding and growth opportunity for them. Try to be aware of what your thinking about yourself and instead of seeing your situation as bad and that your a bad mom, change those thoughts to you are a good mom and you have a beautiful life growing inside you. You need to rest for your daughter and your body and that's a great thing. Your son can always play games with you when you are in bed, you can read stories together and even better create ones about the situation. It actual is fun when we find ways to create a story about how when great queen mommy is resting a beautiful baby sister is growing inside and the big strong brother is protecting mommy by letting her rest. These are just some ideas of how to see your situation in a more uplifting light. This is just a season in your life and before you know it you will be holding that beautiful baby. Remember it is a mindset, if we think negatively then we feel negatively, but if we think positively then we feel positively and life goes smoother. One last thing, I have found EFT (Emotional Freedom Training) very helpful. It is a way to include positive self-talk with acupressure point. Look it up on YouTube. You will be amazed as you say the positive words like I am good mom and tap the points your thoughts and beliefs will change. Please feel to reach out anytime and let us know how you are doing. I will be praying for you. God Bless and lots of hugs!

This is a tough situation. I know it must be so hard to feel confined, anxious about the pregnancy and yourself, but then on top of that you throw a big layer of guilt. We are all so hard on ourselves, even when we are told that taking care of ourselves is vital to our well being (and your baby's). Your job is taking care of you and the baby. Can you line up some television shows to watch, books to read with your child and for yourself? I don't mean to preach or give advice. I imagine your are really trying your hardest. But I hope that you'll think about giving up some of the guilt and understanding that it is vital that you rest.

How are you doing this week AlyAngel? I have been praying for you. Hugs!

I'm sorry that you're feeling so badly. Boredom is tough!!
It sounds like you NEED this bed rest so the first thing you need to do is shut off those lies like "I'm a burden to everyone (or anyone)", "I feel like a failure", or feeling responsible for your family's income or feeling like you're not doing enough for your children. No one can help what happens to their health. There is no place for guilt on you in your situation.

It might help you feel more free of depression and anxiety if you remember that you can only do what you can do. Don't let yourself accept guilt that is not yours. You CAN NOT HELP having your present health issues.
So rest and know that God is watching over you, over your husband and over your children. Thank Him for that and enjoy it.

So, to get rid of that boredom, are there any crafts that you like to do? Knitting? Crocheting? Do you like to read? Are there family and friends you can catch up with through a phone call? Can your son play on the bed next to you? Can he take his naps with you? He would probably love that bonding time.
Are there games you can play with him while you are in bed? (educational toys, reading books to him, etc.) Do you like crossword puzzles or Sudoku?
Do you like to draw or design?
All of these would help you pass the time of day.
What is working for you?
