I came across some great tips on how to survive bed rest while pregnant that I thought could help others:  How to Survive Bed Rest | ModernMom.com.

As some of you know, I was on bed rest for 13 weeks while pregnant with my triplets and relied on many of these tips to keep me sane.  I also had a Starbucks White Hot Chocolate every Friday.  It gave me a yummy treat to look forward to and contains a whopping 520 calories.  Good if you need to meet a daily calorie requirement. I also did some of my bed rest out on the deck enjoying spring weather – awesome feeling to get out in the fresh air and get a little Vitamin D.
