Consultant Obstetrician, Gynaecologist and Fetal Medicine Specialist at KCJ Hospital and Maternity Home
For some people, pregnancy is an easy time with little to no complications. For others, a situation may emerge that requires medical intervention or lifestyle changes. The concept of bed rest has been around for a long time, but, nowadays, it’s not commonly recommended. In fact, it’s not suitable for most pregnant people. There’s no scientific evidence that bed rest prevents preterm labor or reduces the risk of preeclampsia (high blood pressure in pregnancy). Infact, being completely inactive can increase the risk of health problems like blood clots. 🚶♀️ Staying active, with light exercises and frequent movement, is generally safer and more beneficial for most expecting moms. 🌸✨ Always follow your doctor's advice, but remember: a healthy, balanced approach keeps both you and your baby in better shape! . . . . #bedrest #bedrestpregnancy #pregnancytips #highriskpregnancy #pretermbaby #bedrestduringpregnancy #pregnancymythsandfacts #pregnancymyths #pregnancyfacts #firsttrimester #thirdtrimestertips #pregnancylife #pregnancyquestions #pregnancyquotes
