What does «reposo relativo» mean in Spanish?
- In physics, immobility of a body in relation to another that serves to fix reference axes. Contrast with absolute rest.
- Recommendation given by the obstetrician to pregnant women with some risk to limit the amount of movements while they are pregnant; usually walking only inside the house, the basics for daily cleaning, avoiding physical efforts. Absolute rest is for higher risk cases, where the pregnant woman must limit her movements much more and, in some cases, requires hospitalization.
