Exactly what I needed...just when I needed it!, April 10 2005

Bedrest has been a challenge for me. I am an attorney, and accustomed to a highly charged life. My doctor's order of complete bedrest was a shock and left me quite frustrated and depressed. I have bought and read everything I could find about pregnancy complications, and pregnancy bedrest. This book made me laugh, and it made me cry. It made me feel like I wasn't alone. It empowered me to take some charge of my new life as an expectant woman confined to bed. I am now pursuing some hobbies that have been neglected due to my busy law practice. I am concentrating on nurturing the child in my womb. The chapter written for husbands was perfect for my husband, and helped him so much. I wish I could convince Borders to carry this book; it is really important for women to have resources to help them.

It's such a shame that Amazon doesn't stock this book for quicker delivery, but my book arrived in about 2 1/2 weeks. It was definitely worth it! It has been such a help to me and my husband. I am doing so many things that the author suggested...the tips are SO helpful.

I was so excited when I received my autographed copy of this book. It has helped me so much. I have Preterm Labor and will be on bedrest for at least two more months. Her book has just been the greatest thing for me. I no longer think that I'm the only one who has some of the feelings that I was having. I've also enjoyed reading about all of the ideas for occupying my time. I took her advice, and started crocheting again!
The bedrest exercises are great, too, and I was so relieved when my doctor said that I could do them.
This book has just saved me. It's like a friend...it just sits on my bedtable as a reminder that I CAN survive!
