Bedrest

See

Many caregivers say that until there's good evidence to the contrary, bedrest is worth a try.
Pregnancy bedrest is usually prescribed when your provider believes it will be of benefit to your health or the health of your baby.
Doing bedrest is the best course of action for your baby's welfare, and it's great that your doctor is also taking into account other possibilities.
Some common reasons bedrest is prescribed: multiple gestation, placenta previa, preterm labor, cervical incompetence, and interuterine growth retardation (IUGR).
The unusual study, to be done at Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston, is designed to document just how debilitating bedrest is for muscles and bones and to see whether resistance training with springs and pulleys, along with special protein supplements, can reverse this downward slide.
