Exercise, Rest and Sleep

Categories: Obstetrics or Midwifery

Plenty of exercise in the open air should be
taken daily, without this health cannot be maintained. It should not be

violent or so great as to fatigue and overtire. Slow riding in a carriage

and walking will give the best results. Horseback riding and riding in an

automobile should be avoided. The woman should sit out of doors as much as

possible. Plenty of sleep is also necessary. Eight hours are not too much

at night, and lying down an hour or two during the forenoon and afternoon

is very restful and desirable.
