New research links bending forwards, walking, and standing at work during early pregnancy to increased miscarriage risk, with each additional hour of bending forward raising risk by 36%

• Bending forwards at work during early pregnancy linked to increased miscarriage risk
• Extensive walking and standing also associated with higher miscarriage risk
• Each additional hour of bending forward increases risk by 36%
• Study analyzed 800,000 pregnancies in Denmark between 2004-2018
• Researchers recommend reducing occupational standing, walking, and forward bending during early pregnancy
• Further studies needed to confirm findings and establish exposure thresholds
