If your pregnant can you lift heavy things?

Answer 1

No,but due to body changes such as ligament softening and differences in balance it can be dangerous. Try not to lift more than 20-25% of the weight you felt comfortable with before becoming pregnant, and when lifting use your knees not your back.

Answer:

NO

Please do not lift anything while pregnant. You should even restrict the times you lift other children you may have. If you must lift, use your knees not your back and stomach.

Lifting will NOT cause a miscarriage but as the pregnancy hormones soften all the ligaments it is very easy to hurt yourself, NOT the baby.

Answer 2

Plain common sense. When someone is pregnant, they cannot be expected to do everything physical they did when they were not pregnant. The body is undergoing a physiological change, and hard labor like carrying really heavy objects, can and will upset some of those changes.

Answer 3

nothing in early pregnancy. as you get further along you have the risk of breaking your water. if you have a healthy pregnancy, lifting small children and simple household chores shouldn't be a problem. Just don't go moving the furniture around. Have someone else do it for you.

Answer 4

Answer 6
