Early intrauterine pregnancy generally refers to the first five weeks of gestation, while the term “early pregnancy” typically encompasses the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. During the initial stages of pregnancy, fetal development is still relatively unstable; therefore, pregnant women should avoid vigorous physical activity and sexual intercourse, as these may increase the risk of threatened miscarriage.
