how much to lift?
This is my first pregnancy and I am 6weeks I was wondering if it is safe to pick up my neice whos 18 months. How much is to heavy.
In the first trimester there isn't really a limit. Lifting heavy things will not cause you to miscarry. As you get further into your pregnancy though its not a good idea to lift very heavy things (over 50 lbs) because you risk injury to yourself.
