I am anticiapting bed rest starting in January - hopefully at home with the ability to get up once a day, shower, etc...more like house arrest really. Any suggestions from moms who may have had this expereince in the past. I was previously limited in activities with last pregnancy but not to this extent - I was still able to go inot work part time, etc Just had to limit the amount of time on my feet.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with the recommendation on the book, etc. One additional thing to consider is your age also - if you are on the younger side (under 30 /31 +/-) and you have some time you can work with your regualr OB and (hopefully0 relax and try to find the right intervention if any are evennecessary for awhile. However, I would not wait too long if you are post 30 - I had a similiar backgound - started trying to get pregnant at 32 - had difficulty concieving for many reasons - then had difficulty carrying a pregnancy to term...etc etc. So it was 4 years before I delivered my first full term baby. While this is certainly not the norm, I would just balance your decision by the age factor, especially if you wnat to ahve 2 or 3 children. I also (eventually) went to Shady Grove (Annandale) and had a great experience

Good Luck
