Bed Rest

9/4/2020

1 Comment

 
Bed rest is prescribed limitations on your movement to preserve the health of the baby and mom.  Occasionally, a woman is put on full bed rest with her movement completely curtailed and work stopped.  Other times, it is a modified lifestyle including less activity and movement outside the house with frequent rest periods.  Either way, abide by bed rest for yourself and the baby.  Most often bed rest is temporary.
 
When in a period of activity restriction, be sure to continue healthy eating habits and hydration.  Also, stretch frequently to loosen your muscles and tendons.  Try to do activities you find relaxing, to recharge and fortify the body.
 
Bed rest is most frequently required to:
  1. Control preeclampsia so baby can continue to develop.
  2. Manage an incompetent cervix.  The cervix is not staying closed so a cerclage is used to reinforce the cervix - stitches are put in to hold it shut.  Bed rest helps take the pressure off the cervix.
  3. Reduce pregnancy complications related to carrying multiples.
