We dont have much help at home so I end up lifting grocery bags and sometimes my toddler too. Im 5 months along now and starting to worry if im overdoing it. How much is actually ok to lift na?
Practically i just stopped lifting anything heavy and asked colleagues or family to help. No point straining. Light bags fine, heavy boxes nope, simple rule i followed.
Because i had issues my doctor told me to avoid lifting altogether for a while. It really depends on ur individual pregnancy. Please ask ur gynac what's safe for u specifically.
Keep it light, no heavy lifting through pregnancy, both my doctors said the same. Light grocery bags are okay but bend with care and use your legs. Anything heavy, just ask for help.
