Can bending and twisting the waist cause miscarriage in pregnant women?

Patient's question:

My wife is particularly kind and virtuous. Because my mother is getting older, she always does some household chores at home. However, my wife has been pregnant for four months recently, and sometimes I worry when she bends over to sweep the floor. But she always says it's okay.
Hello, sometimes when a pregnant woman bends or twists, it can press on the abdomen. Will this cause a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women doing appropriate household chores generally do not cause miscarriage. Moreover, appropriate physical exercise is beneficial for the health of the pregnant woman and the growth and development of the fetus. It is not necessary to rest in bed during pregnancy. In the first three months of pregnancy, when the fetus is just implanted in the uterus and is unstable, it is important to pay attention to your posture, avoid lifting heavy objects, and avoid rotational activities. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
