I used to do weight lifting before getting pregnant and want to continue staying active. How much weight lifting is considered safe to do during pregnancy? I don't want to overdo it or harm myself or the baby.
Honestly, don't risk it because any complication means extra scans and hospital visits which cost a lot of money. We had budgeted everything so strictly for the delivery, so I completely avoided lifting heavy boxes or groceries. Why invite unnecessary medical bills, better to play it safe.
Haha weight lifting? I can barely lift my head off the pillow right now with this newborn! But seriously, dont do any heavy lifting, pregnancy is not the time to show gym skills. Just stick to light walks and sleep as much as u can before the baby comes.
According to the pregnancy tracker apps I used, lifting anything above 5-10 kgs is generally not recommended unless you were doing regular strength training before. Even then, you have to modify it in each trimester. Check with your doctor once to know your specific limit.
I am also planning to conceive soon and was wondering the same thing! Is it okay to lift daily groceries or do we have to stop completely? Let us know what your doctor suggests about this.
Dear, please avoid lifting anything heavy at all. When I was pregnant at my parents' house, my mom didn't even let me lift a bucket of water. It's better to be safe and let your family help you with household chores right now.
Oh sweetie, please be very careful with your body right now. I remember how much I used to overthink about what is safe and what is not, but looking back, protecting your little one is everything. Avoid lifting heavy buckets or bags, your body is already doing a lot of hard work.
