Can I still lift groceries and laundry basket in 1st trimester?

Question

I’m 5 weeks preggo 
When do we need to be careful about lifting?

Answer

When your doctor tells you. You're perfectly okay to lift anything you were lifting pre-pregnancy.

Answer

I still did everything the same. I am 33 weeks pregnant right now and I am installing floor in my house 🤷🏻‍♀️ my husband just brings the cases of flooring in from the garage and I lay them down and use power saws and everything. 😂

Answer

Unless there are complications you can keep lifting things throughout your pregnancy. I know now that I'm almost in the 3rd trimester my balance gets thrown off easy so I try not to lift as much, but you should be fine. Listen to your body😊

Answer

I was told from the beginning of my pregnancy to lift no more than 25 pounds.

Answer

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and the only reason I don't lift stuff is because my husband & my coworkers won't let (I'm still able to they just don't want me to 😑).

Answer

I couldn’t stop lifting my toddler or doing household chores so I never started being careful. My second baby is lovely and healthy.

Answer

I was okay, but I found my issue was with my dog. He’s 100 pounds he pulled on the leash a lot and I’d end up with cramps. 
My doctor told me to listen to my body, if I ended up hurting after then it wasn’t something I should continue doing.

Answer

I would check with your doctor because everyone is different. Personally, I do just about everything I did before I was pregnant. I am high risk and 29 weeks but my doctor just tells me to listen to my body.

Answer

Well I have a partial Placenta Previa where part of my Placenta is covering my cervix. I have to be careful not to lift things that are too heavy.
