Your search for a “Bedrest Bible” is over! The Pregnancy Bed Rest Book is chock-full of information, advice, resources, and personal stories from women who endured days, weeks, or months in bed. Amy E. Tracy, a bedrest veteran, answers every question you have–plus some you probably haven’t even thought of yet–in a knowledgeable, friendly and easy-to-read style. My only complaint? I wish Ms. Tracy had written it in time for my own bedrest sentences!

Ms. Tracy’s book touches on all aspects of bed rest and how best to cope with them. She offers great suggestions for family members and friends of the bed resting mom too!
I wish the book had been available when I was on bed rest during my high risk twin pregnancy. I highly recommend it to all moms on bed rest!

This is good, and helpful, it’s just short. I was on the bedrest much longer than this author, and her suggestions weren’t as helpful as I hoped they would be. I will be buying the other bedrest books for more suggestions.

This is a *wonderful* book for any pregnant mother who is dealing with bed rest! The author is a veteran of two complicated pregnancies involving extended bed rest and she has put together an amazing amount of information and resources in this book. I wish I’d had this book for my first two pregnancies and am SO GLAD to have it for my third!
The author includes a huge amount of information and practical suggestions for coping with bed rest. She gives great suggestions on how to get the help a bed rest mom will need and where to find the resources that might be available to help these mothers and their families. She also discusses in great detail both hospital bed rest and bed rest in the home.
There is also a fantastic section on coping with bed rest when one already has other children [and how to help the children cope!], as well as a great section on fathers.
I would recommend this book to any mother facing bed rest in her pregnancy – whether this is her first pregnancy or her fifth! This book is just overflowing with great information and is very encouraging and helpful. It is also a very easy and enjoyable book to read. It is very well written and worth every cent!
