Should I be doing this?

Question

One of my jobs requires me to lift heavy things and I'm about 4 weeks preggers. Before, I wouldnt have been worried but I had a mc in December and now literally everything I do scares me. I dont want to lift things, I dont want to have sex, I dont even want to drink the same teas I drank the first time because I'm afraid those caused my miscarriage.
Could someone just tell me to stop being such a pussy and that lifting things and doing my normal day to day things is okay? 😅

Answer

No you shouldnt lift heavy things while pregnant

Answer

My advice would be to talk to tour employers and tell them about your situation. It might be difficult, but your baby will be safe. I am sure you can be helpful in some other ways at work, other that lifting heavy or they would try to reduce the amouny of weight you lift daily. In my country pregnant women are protected by low and after announcing the pregnancy, the employers must make sure that the work environment is suitable for pregnancy. If the amount of work is too much, the pregnant women are entitled to a 6 hour shift and paid for a full shift or are given a new position in the company that does not harm the baby in any way. Check to see of in your country you have those kind of privileges.

Answer

You should be ok until about 5 mo. Then you're not supposed to be doing heavy lifting regardless of being high risk or not. Look into getting a doctor order for light duty with a weight limit.

Answer

If you were lifting heavy things before, you can continue to do so.  If it’s painful and you get cramps, don’t lift it.  I’m on a farm and lift 40 pound crates all the time and I’m now at 20 weeks with no issues.  Listen to what your body tells you!

Answer

You’re fine until later on

Answer

You’re fine

Answer

heavy lifting won’t cause a miscarriage but it’s okay to continue heavy lifting until the 2nd trimester, after that you can really hurt your back

Answer

My doctor last pregnancy told me nothing 25lbs and over frequently and nothing over 15lbs repeatedly and wrote a not stating so , she did it more because I was worried about it but this pregnancy I have a 15 month old who’s over 40 pound and I have to lift him and carry home ALL the time and don’t have a choice but I’m not worried about it

Answer

I refuse to lift heavy objects because it causes pain for me so that scares the crap out of me. I have no idea whether I am allowed to but I am on restrictions at work because I announced I am pregnant and they don't want me too loose it because of the work I do.

Answer

I had a miscarriage the first time because of that and because I was on my feet all day, more than I should’ve been because I was working overtime all the time. I moved to Arizona so I had to quit my job and when I found out I was pregnant I didn’t get another job and now I’m 33 weeks with my beautiful rainbow 🌈 💛
