Pregnancy Bedrest: A Journey of Love

Pregnancy Bedrest: A Journey of Love is written by Wanda Hale who is a mental health provider and knows the struggles of the bedrest mother and family very well. Wanda experienced strict bedrest with each of her two children for a period of three months per child. In this book, Wanda helps the expectant mother and family manage the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges they may face during this difficult life situation. She encourages the expectant mother to not just survive from day to day but live and grow through this experience - taking from it life changing information.
