When I was 15wks I picked up my 14mth old and ripped all my pelvic muscles. It made for a horrible pregnancy.

My little cousin is 2 and is kind of heavy not really but I pick her up then sit down with her so it doesn't hurt my back

Im 35 weeks and pick up my 5 & 2 year old nieces. But then again they are both very light. I don't think it should be a problem as long as she isn't heavy just ask your doctor they'll be able to tell you best
