Is my job okay for pregnancy?

Jayden

I’m 5 weeks pregnant and I’m worried my job could affect the baby. I work produce at a grocery store and am constantly carrying box’s (20-50lbs). Is this dangerous for the baby? Could it cause a miscarriage? Should I ask to switch departments to something more subtle like bakery or cash? If it is okay, at what point should I stop lifting this much?
