Bed rest is an essential part of a high-risk pregnancy.
Once you’re told it’s time, you need to take it seriously.
But no one ever told you it would be like this…
“What a fun, sarcastic guide of the need-to-knows of bed rest!”
Chrissy Bernal, author of Sienna’s Locket
“A true, encouraging, and entertaining look at what to expect… I wish this was around when I was on bed rest.”
Kathleen Cummings, mom of triplets who beat bed rest for 24 days
“Despite never making it to bed rest because I delivered early, reading this might have scared me into taking it easier & given me something to read while kicking my feet up to take a break!”
Natalie Cherry, mom of triplets who delivered the day before her bed rest was scheduled to start.
