Lifted heavy object

Is it safe for me to lift heavy objects?? I just helped out my dad lift a car door to help fix it and didn't know of that was safe, I assume if I was careful it would be ok.  Thanks ladies..ftm :)

I heard during a well pregnancy, your allowed to lift around 25 lbs. But It might be different depending on a few things so I would ask your doctor next time you wanna lift anythin' heavy. For example, since I have a pregnancy complication my doctor recommends me not to lift anythin' more than 10-15 Lbs to be on the safe side In case my condition doesn't fix Itself. I found an article that might help.

Although I've stayed active my whole pregnancy, I was lifting parts of a crib and change table that were pretty heavy and I was fine a couple weeks ago :) I'm 37+2 now, it just depends what your body can stand
