Bending at work linked to 36% higher miscarriage risk
Danish research suggests that women who bend forwards a lot at work in early pregnancy might face a higher risk of miscarriage. Each extra hour of bending forwards during an eight-hour working day was linked to a 36% higher risk. However, it was an observational study, so firm conclusions about cause and effect can't yet be made.
