Lifting heavy stuff

I was wondering if anyone knows of any danger in lifting heavy things. I have to talk to my doc about it but when I lift my 2 year old I sometimes feel a strain. I'm an at home mami and dont always have someone here to help me with putting her in her crib for a nap and other things.
Thanks

    Well every doc and pregnant lady is diff. I have a 2 yr old also...im 34 weeks and I lift her when I have to. My doc said as long as im not straining...i also feel a strain with her...but what can we do? My pregnancy has gone fine so far...so im sure as long as were not holding them for long periods of time were ok.

    I didn't think it was to bad I'm not in pain when I lift her. My mom and husband keep telling me to not pick her up so much but shes my munchkin and needs her mami to.thx @1princessandprinceontheway.

    I have a 2 year old little girl and i pick her up. I am 33 weeks pregnant. I am not allowed to pick up anything over 40 pounds.

    @hurstk28 is that in general or specific to you. My daughter is at least 40 lbs and over 3 feet tall I'm only 19 weeks.

    I think it differs between each woman and what she can handle. I have a weak abdominal wall so that is why i am limited to stuff under 40 pounds.

    I still carry my 3 year old as well, cuz she falls asleep when we go out times! I dont like to wake uo my doll! Am 9 weeks but I feel okay. I just dont lift other things! She weighs about 30 lbs

    @mrs_riviere82 i am in the same shoe. My son is almost 4. We live on the 3rd floor and sometimes its just easier to carry them.
    Sometimes in gwneral its easier to pick our kids up its in our nature.

    @jtmoon98 I will keep that in mind. I want this little one to make it all the way and I worry about that all the time. I worry far more with this pregnancy then I did with my other 2. Thx
