Exercise while on bed rest?

Question

I have an appointment on Monday but I’m wondering if anyone still went on walks, used birth ball, or any sort of exercise while on some type of bedrest?
Edit: I was diagnosed with hypertension

Answer

Bed rest and exercise don’t really go together. Speak to your dr about what is safe for you and baby.

Answer

No. If they put you on bedrest, you're not supposed to be exercising.

Answer

I have no experience with this, but it seems like you should be able to stretch and/or do hip circles on an exercise ball. Neither should raise your heart rate or bp, and both will probably help your body feel more comfortable and prepared! Idk.

Answer

I have hypertension also and they’re considering taking the baby by c section tomorrow at 37 weeks if my BP is still elevated..... I’m kinda nervous but kinda hoping for high BP so we can just meet our little one finally!

Answer

I was on “light” activity and doc wanted me to basically be as inactive as possible. No exercise.

Answer

I think it would depend on why you’re on bed rest
