Is Bed Rest Really Needed During Pregnancy?

In this video, Dr. Manjeet Arora, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Cloudnine Hospital, Kailash Colony, New Delhi, addresses a common concern among expecting mothers: Do you need bed rest during pregnancy? She breaks down when and why bed rest may be advised, such as in cases of multiple pregnancies, low-lying placenta, high blood pressure, preterm labour risk, or early bleeding. Dr. Arora also clarifies that “bed rest” does not always mean lying still all day—it is about strategic rest and activity moderation to protect both mother and baby.
