lifting heavy things..?

Question

I have four horses, my body is very used to lifting atleast 50 lbs a day. When did your doctors put a limit on how much you can lift?

Answer

If you lifted it before pregnancy regularly, it's safe to continue.

Answer

As long as you did it regularly before pregnancy, you should be fine. But be more careful than before, and talk to your doctor about it. The further along you get, generally the lower your weight limits should go to keep the placenta safely attached to the lining of your uterus. Sometimes later on lifting too much, or incorrectly, can cause it to separate from the wall which can be life threatening for you and baby!

Answer

I've been lifting weights at the gym regularly since before pregnancy and I'm still doing it at 22w. I make sure to lift with correct form, and listen to my body carefully. My doc said it was fine to continue with my routine with those caveats. I'll ask the midwife tomorrow to double check.

Answer

My first doctor visit my doctor said not to lift more than 25 pounds. That's just my doctor, and I'm sure others may say differently.
