Lifting heavy things during pregnancy?
I am 9 weeks pregnant. My doctor told me that the belief of "heavy lifting can cause a miscarriage "is a myth. He said that" you can not raise your baby on you. " However, I also know that doctors different philosophies have different and often give different advice. So I was wondering if anyone had heard something similar or opposite their own doctor? I only ask because as a teacher, I'm passing my classes and we will soon be moving into a new home so I will of course be able to spend a lot of heavy things. What do you think … not based on women stories, but based on what you read in medical journals or been told by your doctor?
The doctors told me not to lift objects over 25 lbs. Exception is of course if you already have a child … 22 months old weighs 30 pounds and it is impossible to spend a day without him raising at least a few times.
