I was placed on bedrest for 2 weeks for a subchorionic bleed at 11 weeks.

I laid in bed the whole time, or laid on the couch. If I used the laptop I would lay it on the bed and lay down next to it slightly elevated on pillows.

I used A LOT of pillows lol. I also made it a point to onmy lay on my sides during this as well. The last few days of rest I began doing a little more, sitting up and so forth to slowly get back into normal walking etc.

The stairs I would try to avoid if possible. I did not shower (yuck, I know) simply because I was told to be off my feet.

I hope this helps
