Background: Pregnancy in women?s life is considered unique and natural period. But when the pregnancy is at high risk, it is recommended to limit activity and treated with bed rest which disturbs natural process of pregnancy. The women develop some needs during the journey of bed rest and want support to get them fulfilled for better maternal and fetal outcome. Objective: To undertake a narrative review so as to explore the needs of high risk pregnant women during bed rest. Method: 8 studies were selected from a period of 1991-2016 after keyword searches for PubMed, EBSCO, DELNET databases and google scholarly articles. Manual searches of other relevant journals and reference list of primary articles were also done. Results: 8 studies were selected for this narrative review including 5 qualitative and 3 quantitative studies. Data analysis of 4 of the studies reported the needs of high risk pregnant women during bed rest like need for consultation due to physical problems, psychological problems, marital problems, fear and stress, need for planning various activities during bed rest, need for counselling on psychological problems, need for social support, need for assistance with emotional adaptation and bed rest. Remaining 4 studies discussed about anxiety, stress, depression and worries faced by women which are factors for arousing specific needs during bed rest in high risk pregnancy. Conclusion: Bed rest interrupts the natural process of pregnancy due to which high risk pregnant mother may sometime feel isolated. During hospitalization, the high risk pregnant mother has high level of stress, anxiety and worries. So, nurse should have a sense of responsibility to assess the needs of high risk pregnant mother and can take help of family members to cope up with the situation.
