Did she say why? In almost all cases bedrest does more harm than good. I was inappropriately on bedrest from 26 weeks with DS6 and from 25 weeks with DS14. I never recovered physically from bedrest. Both kids were full term, so bedrest didnt matter for either.

Are you getting enough salt?

Too much water or not enough salt = falling and fainting.

This happened to me while pregnant. It affects me more because of dysautonomia and I hadnt been diagnosed then.

Mild chronic hyponatremia is associated with falls, unsteadiness, and attention deficits - PubMed

Mild chronic hyponatremia induces a high incidence of falls possibly as the result of marked gait and attention impairments. Treating these patients might prevent a considerable number of hospitalizations.

Probably not. I don’t put salt in anything as I don’t like the taste of it at all

Swap water for milk. That will help your electrolytes a lot. Graham crackers have as much sodium as many salty snacks, so that's a good "not salty" sodium source.

If you decrease sugars/carbs, you have to increase sodium intake. Carb increase insulin, and insulin causes sodium retention. People who eat strict keto consume like 5,000 mg sodium just to maintain homeostasis.
