How long after a miscarriage can one start exercising?

Patient's question:

I had a miscarriage due to overexertion when I was two months pregnant. I just returned from the hospital and am lying in bed to rest. My mother doesn't allow me to get off the bed, saying it's not suitable for walking and will affect my future health. But lying in bed for too long is very boring. How long after a miscarriage can I get up and exercise?

Doctor's answer:

If you are two months pregnant and have a miscarriage due to overexertion, then you should go home and rest properly afterward. After a miscarriage surgery, it is generally recommended to rest for about three weeks. However, this three-week period does not necessarily require complete bed rest. You can engage in light indoor activities, such as going to the bathroom, washing your face, or eating dinner. These are all fine as long as you avoid catching a cold, overexerting yourself, and refrain from sexual activity.
