I read this article and it said that the only problem to lifting heavy weights late in the pregnancy was because of the womans center of balance being thrown off and she could hurt herself. But lifting weights over twenty pounds did not effect the baby's growth or cause defects.

I think its ten pounds and under it could be twenty so be safe and stick to ten
I have a very physically demanding job and I am in my first trimester. Can I remain as physically active as I was when I was not pregnant. If so, at what time should I not be lifting as much. I am lifting anywhere from 20 to 30 pounds.

∙ 13y agoAs many as she could lift when she was not pregnant - until her tummy gets in the way and effects her balance or her doctor tells her otherwise.
A doctor may put a 10lb or 20 lifting restriction on a pregnant woman, especially later in the pregnancy when lose ligaments make her a prime candidate for injury or balance changes make her likely to fall.

Is a crane's working load the maximum weight it is able to lift?
The maximum load that the crane can lift is 18 metric tons (39,690 pounds), but the crane cannot lift that much weight if the load is positioned at the end of the jib. The closer the load is positioned to the mast (center of rotation), the more weight the crane can lift safely.
Can you pick up your son it is safe when you re pregnant?
From today.msnbc.msn.com: "Late in pregnancy a woman's ability to safely lift a load decreases, mostly because her center of gravity and balance have changed and additionally because the hormones of pregnancy have caused her connective tissue, ligaments and tendons to soften. So if she lifts a heavy load she can injure herself, but will probably do no harm to the pregnancy or the baby. There are no studies that show that lifting more than 25 pounds has an effect on birth weight or prematurity. The current recommendation is that the maximum load a pregnant woman should lift in late pregnancy should be reduced by 20 to 25 percent from that which she was able to lift in her pre-pregnancy state."
