heavy lifting?

They say your not supposed to lift heavy stuff but will it not effect as much if you lifted heavy stuff all the time before you got pregnancy?

My sister had a manual labor job when she was pregnant with my nephew and because she did so much and was constantly lifting heavy things she didnt dilate and had to get a c section i forgot what the drs said it was but just be careful. I had to stop working because i couldnt keep lifting all those heavy clients it was too much on my back.

I would still be careful though, my sister in law was a stocker and she tore her placenta from the uterine wall while she was pregnant with her youngest and started bleeding, had to rush to the e.r. and thats what had happened. Not to freak you out or anything, I would just be careful.

It should be fine as long as its weight your use to I still picked up my four year old at forty pounds until I was 20ish weeks they do suggest lifting less as your pregnancy continues but I would def ask your dr lifting can hurt the baby and cause issues for you if your not careful so def talk to your dr
