Im in second trimester and at home theres always something to pick up, water bottles, grocery, etc. MIL says dont lift anything but thats not practical na. How much weight is actually safe?
I'm in my second trimester and my doc said to avoid heavy lifting, but like, what exactly is 'heavy'? I sometimes lift grocery bags and then I get anxious. Is there a specific weight limit anyone's doctor told them? I don't want to overdo it.
My doctor at the premium hospital was very clear: avoid anything you can't lift comfortably without straining. They advised me not to lift anything heavier than a small bag of groceries. It’s always best to ask your specific gynac for their recommendations for you.
Hey, don't stress too much about lifting! The general rule is to avoid anything heavy that puts a strain on your back or belly. If you can, try to lift from your knees, not your back. But honestly, it's best to ask your gynac for a clear limit based on your personal health.
It's best to avoid lifting heavy things, my dear, for your and the baby's safety. God has a plan, and you just need to take good care of yourself during this special time. Stay positive and listen to your doctor for guidance on what's safe.
Initially, I used to panic about lifting even small things! But my doctor reassured me that light lifting is fine, especially if you were active before. The main thing is to avoid anything that strains your back or makes you uncomfortable. Always listen to your body.
