Lifting heavt object during early pregnancy??

Question

I've recently started a new job and sometimes it requires me to help unpacking stock. A few times I've been asked to help move boxes and I obviously can't say no(because then everyone will know I'm pregnant) but I do try and be careful. But I can't help but worry and I always feel a slight strain on my tummy. I'm 5 weeks today. Isit a myth? Or should I really stay awa from heavy objects x

Answer

You should tell one main person in charge that you are pregnant so they can keep you away from lifting. If worse comes to worse and you don't trust them to keep secret ask doctor for doctors note!

Answer

Stop lifting its not a myth.. Carrying a box once or twice wont hurt but if u do this repeatedly all day, for sure it might hurt! I got a placental abruption carrying heavy boxes!

Answer

I think it depends my job involves lifting 10-20kg boxes for atleast 6 hours a day 4 days a week I also set up and pack up a cafe 2 days a week. I've done this for a long time and I'm pretty sure my body is just use to it now. I haven't stopped, I do try and lift everything abit more sensibly but i am fine so far.
