Book Description
"Often the pregnancy complication and the need for bed rest arise suddenly and unexpectedly, causing the woman and her family to face myriad problems. . . .This book can be an invaluable resource under such circumstances." (From the Foreword by Richard H. Schwarz, M.D., Obstetrical Consultant to the March of Dimes
Statistics indicate that up to 700,000 expectant women a year -- that's one in five mothers-to-be -- are prescribed bed rest as treatment during complicated pregnancies. Bed rest might sound like a relief at first -- but the combination of a possible high-risk birth and a lengthy period of staying off your feet can be stressful.
Amy E. Tracy shares her experiences -- and those of many others -- to help you and your family not only survive but thrive during your days in waiting. With information on everything from informing your employer and making arrangements with your health insurance to proper nutrition and calisthenics, this comprehensive guide also covers such topics as:
* Understanding Your Doctor's Orders
* Adjusting to Horizontal Living
* Coping with Short-term and Extended Hospitalization
* Limiting the Side Effects of Immobility
* Making Bed Rest a Family Affair
* Coming to Terms with Your Feelings
* Getting Back on Your Feet
* And More, Including Complete Resources

Short, brief, but has some good ideas,
By Petra (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pregnancy Bed Rest Book (Mass Market Paperback)
This is good, and helpful, it's just short. I was on the bedrest much longer than this author, and her suggestions weren't as helpful as I hoped they would be. I will be buying the other bedrest books for more suggestions.

A good book, but comes up short,
By Margaret (Northeastern USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pregnancy Bed Rest Book (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read every bed rest book I could find. This is not the best. The author has attempted to write a comprehensive book, and does a good job, just not great. There are better. It's very short, and after reading it, which took a couple of hours at most, I felt like I didn't have enough information. I wish the author would have had more experience with extended hospital bed rest. That would have been beneficial. **Recommended reading: "Days In Waiting: A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy Bedrest" by Mary Ann McCann, newer edition
