During normal pregnancies, particularly during the later half of it, it is suggested that women do not lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk or anything to large to be carried comfortably (and not awkwardly).
With placenta previa, this weight should be even less than a gallon of milk, and possibly less than half the weight of a gallon of milk. Placenta previa can activate premature labor by itself. Complete bed rest is generally advised, particularly when there are other factors including placenta previa that could contribute to a premature labor.

This condition is called Placenta Previa. With placenta previa, the placenta grows on the lower part of the uterus partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix. The placenta should form at the top of the uterus, above the baby. With a normal pregnancy, the baby would be born first, then the placenta. With placenta previa, the placenta would be delivered first. Women with placenta previa require a c-section because as soon as the umbilical cord comes into contact with oxygen, the baby will automatically breathe with his lungs. Delivering the placenta first puts the baby at risk of suffocation in the womb.
