Everyone knows that pregnant women are not meant to lift anything heavy, but does anyone think they miscarried after doing something strenuous?
I'm interested as I recently miscarried at 9 weeks. The morning before I started spotting I took my DS to soft play - he's a large but not very mobile toddler and wanted to go in the 'big kids' bit, so I ended up lifting him up steps, crawling through tubes etc. I didn't think anything of it at the time but noticed that afternoon I felt exhausted and felt I'd used muscles I hadn't in a very long time. (Don't judge me, I don't do a lot of exercise!) I started spotting that evening which sadly led to full m/c.
I've come to terms with the miscarriage and realise that I'll never know what caused it - it may well have nothing to do with soft play, but I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences.
