why is it bad to carry heavy items when pregnant ?

@momosharlene, okay thank you ! 😊

@mommymoni,

My doctor told me from the beginning not to be lifting anything more than 25 pounds now I'm 30 weeks and he said no more than 15 if I absolutely have to. But if it would make you feel better you could bring it up to your Dr and see what they say.

does it depend how far long you are or is this for any time during pregnancy, I'm 10 weeks @momosharlene

@mommymoni,

You could stretch or tear the round ligaments in your stomach. Those ligaments that help hold your belly up when you're close to the end. I have stretched mine and it is the most painful thing I have experienced so far.

Your straining your body and can get a hernia. And your also not supposed to reach high for things cause that can cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the babies neck

Yess.!!
