It's good to know that obstetricians and other medical doctors are always doing further research to find the best possible advice for pregnant women. And more and more people are becoming aware of the bed rest myth. | <a href="http://weyhrichobgyn.com/Services/obstetrics" rel="nofollow"> http://weyhrichobgyn.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896911296304449357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936905206079131856.post-74732867593990920302014-04-09T08:58:41.046-07:002014-04-09T08:58:41.046-07:00Wow, there are a lot of things on here that I tota...Wow, there are a lot of things on here that I totally believed before. My best friend is 3 months pregnant so I've been helping her through the process. After reading this, there are definitely a few questions I want to ask her doctor.

I would be interested, if you ever think about it, to hear about some conditions where bedrest is still considered useful (I imagine there probably are some? maybe "incompetent cervix"?) (and as a side note, what a horrible name to give a medical condition--nothing says "you suck" like telling you your cervix is "incompetent"). I'd also be curious for your research about twin pregnancies and bedrest/other complications/etc. No particular need, just curiosity.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368761224192682300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936905206079131856.post-73225100980527523052013-01-25T07:43:59.220-08:002013-01-25T07:43:59.220-08:00Thank you so much for this.

I didn't feel like it was helpful at all for my condition, plus it was making me horribly depressed so I stopped doing it. I would take it easy and rest if I felt poorly, but it was so much better than staying in bed all the time. Following my own instincts and refusing to follow doctors orders cause a lot of friction in my marriage and with my family because they thought I was endangering my babies. It is good to see more evidence showing that this practice causes more harm than good.
