Lifting heavy things and pregnancy??

Question

This is my second!! So I'm currently 5 weeks and my son who just turned 4 weighs about 35lbs.. Anyways he's still a little guy and sometimes wants to be carried, especially when he is tired.. Am I just fine picking him up once in a while or am I putting myself at risk doing this?

Answer

My doctor said don't lift anything over 25 lbs

Answer

Perfect :) I go to the doctor December 22nd so I'll ask him then! Thank you :) I mean how can I not carry and pick up this little face

Answer

Just lift with your legs. Bend your legs when you pick something heavy up, and don't bend you back to pick something up.

Answer

Your fine. You'll feel it later on in your bellys ligaments if your overdoing it.

Unless your OB tells you otherwise there's no risk at any point in your pregnancy. Just remember to lift with your knees not with your back and keep your feet squared properly so you don't lose your balance.

Answer

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, I have always been told it's fine. 
I'm a FTM mom and have stressed about this a lot lol. But I carry groceries in one trip (I'm 32+4 today) and have lifted heavy cat litter bags. Don't overdue it but once in a while should be ok.
