Hi! I’m still living that “light bed rest life” but I still try and do a nightly yoga routine a few nights a week. Since I am on what my doctor calls “Light” or “modified” bed rest I asked him if I could continue Yoga and he said absolutely. So I do a light stretching to get the blood flowing after sitting most of the day. I Prefer to do it at night to ease the tightness in my hips before sleep. I am not a yoga instructor, but I have been a dancer my whole life, so this is just how I like to stretch. Let me know if you have any questions!.

Hi everyone, welcome to my channel! In today’s video I talk about my 32 week twin pregnancy update. I give an update on my bed rest, cravings, and pregnancy symptoms.
A glimpse into my high risk twin pregnancy journey dealing with incompetent cervix and bed rest.. Link to Joelle Suess’ channel mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/user/joactive
If everything progresses normally during your twin pregnancy, you may not require bed rest. However, if there are complications or other conditions, your doctor may recommend bed rest. There are various levels of bed rest, from suggested daily naps to full confinement in a hospital. Doctors often prescribe bed rest to buy a little more time for your pregnancy.
It’s not clear if it works in delaying labor. But it can help in a few ways. Bed rest may help lower your blood. Bed rest during pregnancy can pose health risks, including: A blood clot in a deep vein, such as a vein in your leg (venous thromboembolism) Decreased bone mass (bone demineralization) Musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning.
Stress due to self-blame, child care issues, and concerns about job loss or finances. Having a twin pregnancy is not a guarantee that you will have to go on bed rest. Some health care providers will insist on it, but many others will not.
However, because of the increased risks of complications that accompany a twin or multiple pregnancy, you should be prepared for the possibility that you might have to go on bed rest. “I recommend that you should be extra cautious with this pregnancy by compelling yourself to bed rest starting at 7 months”, my obstetrician said. She explained that I should have bed rest because twin pregnancies have a high risk for premature labor, and the ones who will suffer the consequences the most are my unborn babies. With the increased risk of complications associated with multiple births, many moms require some level of bed rest during their pregnancy. Bed rest could be prescribed to alleviate a potential health risk to the mother (such as pre-eclampsia) or for the babies (such as preterm labor).
Some doctors routinely prescribe rest after 24 weeks, while. Work, activity, lifting, or exercise may worsen or provoke certain situations, so bed rest may be prescribed to reduce vaginal bleeding or decrease the chance of premature labor. Bed rest may also be necessary to help increase blood flow to the placenta.
Today, almost 1 out of 5 women is on restricted activity or bed rest at some point during her pregnancy. However, studies of bed rest have not found evidence that bed rest helps with any of these. Bedrest has been prescribed for various pregnancy complications for decades. For example, it’s often been prescribed if you’re carrying twins (or more), have a weak cervix, or otherwise have a higher risk of preterm labor. Multiple pregnancy issues can lead to bed rest.
Your doctor will put you on bed rest and also discuss the measures you need to take to stay healthy in the following scenarios (3). Placenta previa: This is when the placenta is situated lower than its actual position, blocking the cervix and there is risk of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.
List of related literature:
If you were pregnant with multiples, were on bed rest, or had a difficult pregnancy or birth, your recovery may be more challenging than other women’s.
To keep a closer eye on your weight and your baby’s growth – as well as on all aspects of your pregnancy – you’ll have more frequent antenatal appointments than the average mum-to-be (on the plus side, that means more chances to hear your baby’s heartbeat – and more opportunities to ask questions).
If your partner has to worry about how all the extra work is affecting you, she won’t be resting peacefully, and staying calm and relaxed is essential on bed rest.
