Moving furniture at 16 weeks

16 weeks pregnant and I rearranged my furniture in my living room. I mostly just pushed stuff around.. but I did lift one end of my couch to move the rug. Is this okay? I mean my back is sore but I expected that. Just curious have/are some of you ladies still moving stuff like this around?

you really don't want to be lifting anything much over 25 lb. The risk is that the placenta can detach. your body will let you know. I remember I lifted something way too heavy and it felt like someone had attached a massive weight to the bottom of my uterus. That's the only way I can describe it. It felt really wrong

I’m a nurse and lift heavy patients all day long at work. My doctor told me I️ can’t do harm to my baby by lifting, they just worry about you throwing out your back.

I pushed my tv stand this week.. but it doesn't weigh that much actually and I didn't have a problem that I noticed.. I'm sure your body will let you know if it's wrong.. but definitely try not to lift anything too heavy.. either have someone else do it or definitely have someone help you.
