Bed Rest

Quinn is a young British lawyer married to an American and living in New York City. She's checked off most of the boxes on her Modern Woman's List of Things To Do Before Hitting 30 and her busy working life has been relatively painless. But when her doctor tells her she must spend the last three months of her pregnancy lying in bed, Quinn is thrown into a tailspin. As she lays about all day, she tries to reconnect with her workaholic husband, provide legal advice for her sweet Greek neighbor, find romance for a loyal coworker, forge an emotional bond with her sister, and figure out who will keep her stocked up in cookies and sandwiches. Quinn experiences adventures on the couch she never would have encountered in the law firm, and learns a lot about herself and what she wants out of life - and especially about the little one growing inside of her.
