Is it true that you shouldn't lift anything heavy during pregnancy?

Question

Hey strong mamas! We've all heard that pregnant women shouldn't lift heavy objects. But is it a myth or a fact? Share your experiences and knowledge on lifting weight during pregnancy. Let's discuss!

Answer

When I was pregnant in 2020 I was working and lifted a crate much heavier than I should’ve and I felt a big pop and instantly gushed blood and miscarried. So in my experience, it is not a myth. Some people may have other experiences but I did not take it seriously and ended up with a deep regret over it. Don’t push yourself to hard and don’t over lift anything. It can be that serious

Answer

My great grandmother miscarried twins just after 4 months after picking up and moving a couch on her own in the early 50’s. She said she bent over and lifted it up as high as she could and a gush of blood came then the miscarriage. I wouldn’t recommend lifting things over 20lbs if you can avoid it.
