After 7 weeks of pregnancy, I was rushed to the hospital for bleeding. Same thing happened again at 9 weeks. As you can imagine, the first trimester of pregnancy was not a great time for me. I was on bed rest for the entire trimester and later allowed to ease back into my routine.
For many women however, bed rest is mandated for the entire pregnancy. An organization that was recommended to me was http://www.sidelines.org/ I have never actually checked it out myself as I was allowed to get off of bed rest, but if you are in a high risk pregnancy, you may want to check it out. Just knowing that you are not alone and that there are other people to talk to, may be its biggest benefit.
