A member asked:
For rcts that showed no benefit of bedrest in pregnancy, what were they comparing to? did the control group take it easy or did they work/commute/etc
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Don't know to which rct you are referring, but bed rest in general has very few benefits and many risks (including clot development) in pregnancy except for a select few pregnancy related conditions.
