Lifting my 2 year old?

Just wanted to know if anyone knew when they say you shouldn't lift heavy things?? I picked my 2 year old up this morning to put into her carseat and had a sharp pain in my lower abdomen....just wondering when I needed to take it easy with this.....

i have 4 kids - 15 months apart, 26 months apart, and 14 months apart (so when i was late in preg with 4th child, 1st child was 4 yrs old. i never stopped pickin them up if they needed a cuddle, put in a carseat, or put to bed etc - only thing i restricted myself on was how long i held them for ie - if they were capable of walkin down the street holdin my hand, then i wouldnt go out of my way to carry them while walkin (if that makes sense!)... Listen to ur body, it'll tell u wot u can and cant do, and for how long :-)
