Im 6 months along and we are shifting houses soon so theres a lot of packing and moving. I keep wanting to pick up boxes out of habit but then i stop myself. Is lifting heavy stuff at this stage okay or should i just avoid it completely?
I kept exercising in pregnancy but only light weights that my doctor specifically cleared, with good form and no straining. Heavy lifting is a no in my opinion. Always get your gynac to okay your routine first.
Please be careful with this, I was advised to avoid heavy lifting entirely. Even at home picking up heavy things was a no for me. Ask your doctor what is safe for your specific pregnancy, dont assume.
Light activity yes, heavy weights no. Lifting heavy strains your back and core which are already under pressure. Stick to what your doctor approves and listen to your body, dont push it.
