    Can I do anything to help keep an embryo that is low in my uterus?

    Miscarriage Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Trying To Conceive
    I had an ultrasound after a fairly heavy bleed in my 7th week of pregnancy and have been told there is a 50/50 chance of miscarriage due to the low position of the embryo and embryonic sac. Some information online recommended no exercise and rest for a few months, however, noone in the hospital mentioned this. Is there anything that can improve my chances of keeping the pregnancy going?

    Hi. Although worrying, it doesnt necessarily mean you will have a miscarriage. Stay optimistic :-)

    I would like to say there is somethng you should do or not do that will change the outcome, but that would be untrue.

    The advice about exercise and resting is more about you not beating yourself up or others blaming you if it doesnt work out. There is no scientific basis to the advice.
