Second trimester chal raha hai and theres always something to pick up at home, water buckets and all. MIL keeps telling me to be careful. just want to know how much is actually ok to lift, dont want to risk anything.
Honestly, I recently delivered and during my pregnancy, I didn't lift anything heavier than a small grocery bag. Your joints are loose because of hormones, so lifting heavy can cause easy back injuries. Play it safe and ask for help.
Listen to me, sweetie, there is absolutely no need to lift heavy things right now. Let your husband or family do the hard work. If you must lift something light, bend from your knees, not your back, to protect your tummy.
Your body is doing such a beautiful job growing a life, so please don't strain it with heavy lifting. Looking at my baby now, I'm glad I stayed gentle with myself. Only lift very light things, and let others help you.
This is your golden ticket to act like a queen, so use it! Tell everyone your doctor banned you from lifting anything heavier than a remote control. Seriously though, avoid heavy buckets and suitcases, let others sweat it out.
Avoid lifting heavy buckets or bags, as it puts pressure on your pelvic floor. Focus on light physical activities like walking instead, which also helps keep your blood sugar levels in check. Let your family handle the heavy chores.
I am planning to conceive soon and read that we shouldn't lift anything heavier than 5-10 kgs to be safe. It is so interesting how our bodies need to adapt. How much do you all usually lift around the house?
When I was struggling with constant morning sickness, I had zero energy to lift even a water bottle. Please don't put unnecessary pressure on your abdomen. Keep your physical load very minimal and rest as much as you can.
