Bending Over

Does anyone have any advice of how to make bending over easier? My daughter is 14 months and I obviously cannot neglect her so I am bending over to pick her up often. However I've noticed that I am starting to cramp badly whenever I pick her up or carry her for long periods of time. I am only 22 weeks and was hoping I wouldn't start having troubles picking her up just yet. I'm just worried about accidentally stressing out my body or sending myself into labor early farther down the road.
