Question

which of the following statements about exercise during pregnancy is false?
multiple choice

• during pregnancy, women can usually maintain their current level of activity.
• in the second and third trimester, one should avoid exercise that might involve the risk of trauma.
• exercise in pregnancy increases risk of miscarriage.
• exercise can help women maintain a sense of well - being during pregnancy.

Explanation:

Current guidelines from health authorities (e.g., ACOG) state that moderate exercise during pregnancy is safe for most women and does not increase miscarriage risk. Maintaining activity levels, avoiding trauma-related exercises in later trimesters, and exercise's positive impact on well-being are all evidence-based truths.

Answer:

Exercise in pregnancy increases risk of miscarriage.
