Stay out of bed
From a NY Times OP-Ed piece:Obstetricians in the United States are too quick to prescribe bed rest.
Excerpt:
And yet there is substantial doubt within the medical profession about the efficacy of bed rest. My own doctors, who were undoubtedly acting in good faith, openly admitted that they were not sure bed rest would increase my amniotic fluid levels. I carried my daughter to term, although no one could tell me if bed rest really helped or not.
