Patient's question:
I am a yoga enthusiast and have been married to my husband for two years. Recently, I have become pregnant. Although I no longer practice yoga, I have the habit of morning runs every day. I am wondering if running at five weeks pregnant could lead to miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Running is a common daily activity, and most women are not averse to running in the early stages of pregnancy. If the body does not experience discomfort again, it is usually unlikely to cause a miscarriage. Due to the unstable condition of the pregnant uterus, vigorous exercise can easily lead to miscarriage. Therefore, it is recommended to pay more attention to rest and engage in appropriate continuous activities such as a 20-minute walk, avoiding vigorous exercise. If vigorous exercise occurs, it may lead to a miscarriage.
