INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that lifting heavy weights during a healthy pregnancy causes miscarriage?
Unclear. One reference source states that vigorous exercise during pregnancy carries no significant risks to babies, and a qualitative study reports that midwives and nurse practitioners advise pregnant women to avoid heavy lifting. Neither source directly addresses whether heavy weightlifting causes miscarriage, so the evidence only partially bears on the claim.
