Physical workload during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes: results from a Danish nationwide occupational register-based pregnancy cohort (DOC*X-Generation)
This study, based on an unselected cohort of employed women over a 40-year period, corroborates previous findings of an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes due to high physical workload during pregnancy. A general recommendation to decrease the overall occupational workload of pregnant women might prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.
