Book Reviews of Days in Waiting: A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy Bedrest

Book Review: Short and Lame
Summary: 2 Stars

This book is not what I expected at all... it's more like a workbook than a "book." It really doesn't contain any information I didn't already know. I spent 3 months on bedrest with my second pregnancy (after having my first unexpectedly at 32 weeks), and I don't think I opened this book once after reading it through in the first hour I got it. I agree with another poster who said she really doesn't deal with the psychological distress of bedrest at all. It's more like, "oh, gee, you're on bedrest, why don't you make a scrapbook!"

Summary of Days in Waiting: A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy Bedrest

REVISED 2ND EDITION!

NEW! Chapter on Exercise by Marissa Brooks, MS, PT

Mary Ann McCann's award winning book, Days In Waiting: A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy Bedrest, is an invaluable handbook for women undergoing bedrest during pregnancy. Women will benefit from the insight McCann gained as she successfully endured both an at-home as well as extended hospital bedrest. While offering advice on dealing with children, managing outside employment, and finances, McCann candidly reflects on the personal losses associated with a bedrest pregnancy and offers practical suggestions on working with medical caregivers.

This second edition of the book includes a chapter on exercise written by Marissa Brooks, MS, PT. While bedrest and exercise do not seem compatible, exercise can be as simple as deep breathing. With a physician's approval, bed exercises can be appropriate and valuable for maintaining strength, preventing atrophy of muscles, and staying emotionally healthy. Brooks is a licensed Physical Therapist, and a pre/postnatal group exercise instructor. She is the founder of the "Bouncing Back with Baby" mom and baby programs and instructor training seminars, and author of Bouncing Back with Baby: An Exercise Guide for Moms and Babies.
