| | MoonDragon's Pregnancy Information - Coping With Bedrest During Pregnancy |
 | | Bedrest can be a royal pain - practically, physically, and emotionally. | | | The usual suggestions for bedrest activities (jigsaw puzzles, scrapbooking, reading the classics, knitting, or quilting) require a level of concentration and interest that you might not be able to muster when you are on bedrest. | | | Depending upon the type of bedrest you will be experiencing, will depend on the kind of care that will be required by your midwife or health care provider. |

| | First, make sure you have a clear idea of what your medical condition is and what bedrest means for you. | | | When researching my book, I learned that the reason many healthcare professionals are not supportive is because they do not understand how bedrest affects the woman and her family. | | | I provide examples of light exercises that can be done during bedrest in my book; however, these should only be done with your doctor's approval. |

| | Bedrest: What it is and how it helps |
| | Few well-designed studies have been done on bedrest, however, so no one knows whether it's really useful for many of these problems. | | | Ask your practitioner for a referral to a physical or occupational therapist, who can teach you simple exercises to do in bed to improve your circulation and help keep up some muscle tone. | | | If you're on complete bedrest, you'll need someone to wait on you 24 hours a day, bringing you food and anything else you need. |
