I was put on bed rest. Now what?

Sometimes a physician or midwife will suggest that a pregnant woman be on bed rest. Fetal positioning then becomes a concern for women aware of the effects of gravity.

When choosing which side to rest on, prefer your left side over your right. Studies have shown that this further protects the wellbeing of the baby. Also, try to avoid sleeping on your back after the first few months in pregnancy, even if it seems more comfortable.
