This feasibility study investigated the response of maternal heart rate, blood pressure, and uterine contractions to a 30-min bed-rest exercise session (while listening to music) in hospitalized women with varying diagnoses of high-risk pregnancy. Eleven antenatal women who were hospitalized for activity restriction were assigned randomly to either a bed-rest exercise and music group (n = 6) or a bed-rest and music group (n = 5) that involved no exercise. The key findings were that there were no changes in maternal blood pressure or in the number of uterine contractions following the exercise intervention. A supervised bed-rest exercise intervention may, therefore, provide minimal risks and help alleviate the physiological effects of hospital activity restriction.
