Jul 10, 2023
No, physical activity does not increase your risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, or premature birth. If your health care professional gives you the OK to exercise, you can discuss what activities you can do safely.
Other common questions include:
1. Will exercise cause miscarriage?
2. Can jumping cause miscarriage?
And the same answer applies to exercise that does not increase the risk of miscarriage but I suggest you avoid jumping because it is high impact and can lead to other pregnancy related injuries.
Can exercise in early pregnancy cause miscarriage?
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which states that exercise does not increase the risk of low birth weight, preterm birth, or miscarriage in women with normal pregnancies.
What exercises should be avoided in the first trimester?
1. high impact exercises
2. contact sports
3. exercises with a high risk of falling
4. high intensity exercises that increase heart rate and breathing
Can jumping exercise lead to miscarriage?
Nope. Miscarriage is not caused by jumping, vigorous exercise, and frequent genital intercourse.
