5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, June 16, 2006

Renee Mankin (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pregnancy Bedrest: A Journey of Love (Paperback)

Bedrest has been one of the most difficult tasks I have ever experienced. This book has been helpful in making my days shorter and my bedrest less stressful. This book helps me to feel like I am not alone. The author definately understands the struggles of the bedrest mom. I like her honesty about her struggles and her honesty has helped me to feel okay about my own struggles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, May 16, 2006

Lisa Jones "Lisa" (FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pregnancy Bedrest: A Journey of Love (Paperback)

This book is the best bedrest book out of the five I have purchased while on bedrest. This author takes you from start to finish on the bedrest journey. She even includes the postpartum phase the bedrest mother may experience. After purchasing this book, I also purchased her pregnancy bestrest essentials set. It has helped greatly with reducing my anxiety, depression, and fears surrounding bestrest. I highly recommend this book for any woman experiencing the struggles of bedrest. This author has really given me hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bedrest Exercise Chapter is Wonderful, July 20, 2006

Anita (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pregnancy Bedrest: A Journey of Love (Paperback)

After I received this book, I took it to my OB/GYN to review the bedrest exercises. He thought the exercises would be a great idea to help with my muscle stiffness and pain. He was right! Not only do I feel better physically, I think the exercises are helping emotionally too. It's nice to feel like I have a little control over my body again. Great book - after reading my book, I bought one for my OB/GYN to put in his office.
