Indoor play activities for a 14 month old

I’m looking for some play ideas I can do with my 14 month old. I had my second daughter 11 days ago and my partner is back to work on Monday. So looking for ideas to keep her entertained during the day. I had an emergency c section and am not healing as fast as I would like so can’t drive anywhere and physical activities are limited for the time being.

What’s everyone’s favourite thing to do with their little ones?

Puree colorful foods and let them finger paint with them

Pouring water in between glasses (with help at 14 mo)

Music time, egg shakers, lay a guitar down in front of them let them play with the strings

Splishy splash, an inch of water in the tub let them sit in it and splash with different balls and ducks floating in it

Drawing with chalk

Reading books

Gardening (I garden he moves dirt around very cute)

Rock exploring (we have some rock patches in our yard and driveway he likes looking at them, throwing them)

Clean up practice - different colors of water on the floor, fun to wipe them up with a cloth, the cloth turns colors and they have an effect on their environment. And now my son is 19 mo and when he makes a mess on the floor I can hand him a towel to clean up. Very helpful, and he thinks it's fun

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Reduced movements

26 weeks and haven’t really felt little baby all day, she’s usually super active & I have a posterior placenta so I feel her all the time usually. I did feel her ever so briefly earlier right down into my pelvis. I was at maternity triage the other night with tummy cramps but everything was fine and so was baby. What should I do? I don’t want to feel like a nuisance?
