You shouldn't be lifting heaving stuff, when pregnant your work should give u a risk assessment if you cant do the job you normally do they should move you. Get someone else to lift. Go see your GP and they will give you exercises to do to try relieve some pain.

Your body is going throu a lot of changes and hormones are changing the body... but if you have done this job before it's not gunna harm the baby as you get farther along then yes you will need to be careful my doctor said I can continue to do my things I did before like fit women who exercise they can continue throu the pregancy. If sore tired take more rest breaks if works not allowing this then get a note.

When you become pregnant your job has to reasonably accommodate you. You should be OK as your not cramping or bleeding but call your Dr and ask about your individual circumstances.

Once your pregnant that's a no no to lift so much. I was told if your pregnant you have to put in a request to change how you do your work to make sure you and your baby's health is good. They have to accommodate you and provide a safe environment for you and your baby unless they decide to fire you for being pregnant which isn't allowed but they still would
