Dr. Stacey Pylman combines tips, tricks, insight and Bible verses in her debut
CALEDONIA, Mich., Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Millions of women give birth each year and many women are prescribed bed rest by their doctors. "Be Still: A Pregnancy Bed Rest Devotional," by Dr. Stacey Pylman, attempts to answer questions and mentor readers through the process.
The book offers almost 80 devotions which include Bible verses, insights, personal stories, song suggestions and tricks of the trade that Pylman learned for surviving long periods of bed rest.
"Years after my girls were born, God put the desire on my heart to write a devotional for women on bed rest," Pylman said. "I wanted to share encouragement from the scripture with these brave women; words of comfort from someone who had been there and the love of Jesus."
Dr. Pylman lived in a hospital on bed rest for eight weeks, while pregnant with her triplets. She believes there are others experiencing the same thing and that women on bed rest are often feeling fearful, anxious, stressed and helpless.
"I want to get this book in the hands of women on bed rest all over the world," Pylman said. "They need this encouragement. My hope is to help them through bed rest, both physically and mentally, so the newborns have a better chance and a healthier start."
