Can you walk during the period of bed rest for fetal preservation?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. May I ask if it's okay to walk during the period of bed rest and fetal preservation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, try to rest in bed as much as possible. You can also move around a bit, but avoid overexertion. During the period of maintaining the pregnancy, it's important to rest as much as possible. You don't necessarily have to lie down all day; it's okay to get up and take a short walk. However, it's still better to rest in bed more.
Regarding miscarriage, it's best to consider a conventional surgical procedure. Medical abortion can lead to incomplete miscarriage and cause heavy bleeding. Painless abortion can increase the risk of uterine perforation. The safest method is a hysteroscopic-directed dilatation and curettage (D&C) under guidance. This procedure ensures no residual tissue remains, preventing heavy bleeding, making it the safest option for miscarriage.
