Heavy lifting

So I had some concerns, I plan to talk to my dr next week about this but I wanted to see what others did/felt I work retail and plan to work for about one more month before leave. I am 32w 3d and my job requires that I lift heavy objects on a daily basis I had my hours cut but they still change weekly from 18 to 30 hours a week. I have done this same work load throughout my whole pregnancy so my body is used to it and I have not had any issues or pain before but with my husband leaving for training in 2  weeks and won't be back till right around my due date i don't want to start labor early at all until I know he is home. Should I rein it in and really put a stop to it? Or hold on since I only have about 4 weeks left of work anyway?

I would duck it out I mean u haven't gone into labor yet. So u should be okay. I lift to at work but I'm only going on 24 weeks I've got ways to go before I leave.

In your last trimester you really aren't suppose to lift anything over 10lbs. I honestly wouldn't be lifting it could put you into labor or stress your body
