7. Bond with Your Husband/Partner/Children
In today’s demanding world, many families are running around at a frantic pace which leaves little time to connect with loved ones. Being placed on bed rest can result in a lot of family stress and strife as the dynamics and routine of your household are turned upside down — and there’s little left in your control while you depend on others for care. There’s nothing romantic or glamorous about bed rest, (sex is usually completely out of the cards), but it does force you to slow down, or come to a severe halt in your daily life. The silver lining of bed rest may be sleeping in and enjoying breakfast in bed with your partner in the middle of the week, or curling up in bed and watching late night movies — teaching your child how to sew or play Chess, and bonding with your family in ways you never previously had time for.
