Lifting while pregnant?

Question

I work at a grocery store so I’m always lifting big cases of water or beer and A co worker told me that I shouldn’t be lifting anything heavy especially in the first trimester but it’s hard since it’s part of my everyday job and especially when there are older people that can’t lift those heavier things as easy. I just wanna make sure I’m not putting the baby in harm in any way. Just looking for opinions and advice.

Answer

As your doctor what the weight limit is for lifting. It may depend on if you are high risk or not. I lift/carry my 21 lb son and my OB hasn’t advised against that. (Although my mom keeps telling me I shouldn’t 🙄)

Answer

My doc said nothing over 25lbs, but everyone is different so I would ask your doctor to be sure

Answer

It all depends on your activity level. I had a friend do cross fit and was throwing like 130 lbs over her head and squatting and she has a happy healthy 9mo.

Answer

I was cleared to lift 30-40 pounds. Lift, not carry. If you are doing it before you got pregnant, your body is used to it and you should be fine
