I don’t want to stop holding my son b/c i’m pregnant. Granted he’s a big boy he weighs 25lbs and is a little over 30 inches long. This morning I went grocery shopping and lifted a 24 pk of water bottles and so on. I hate waiting for my husband to get home and then go shopping you know. With this pregnancy when lifting I don’t get any cramping like I did with my son. I know they say to “try” to limit your lifting in the beginning, but it is really hard to especially with a baby too.

They say you are not suppose to lift more than 25 lbs during pregnancy. I know that seems impossible, but its best for you and your baby.
I have a 2 year old son and I refuse to stop holding him! lol That would be like torture for the both of us! But if I go grocery shopping I avoid getting the heavy things like water, etc and my hubby goes for the big things another time. But we try to go together to knock it all out at once. But he also just knows he is now in charge of everything regarding that around the house ( and changing the litter box, etc.). He just steps up and does it so it’s not an issue.

You should be fine. Usually you can continue doing what your body is already used to doing. I lift water every single time I go to the store. I also lift and carry cat litter that weighs 30lbs (two at a time). I haven’t had any problems from it. If you are worried, talk to your doctor. They do recommend you not lifting heavy things above your waist, but other than that, if you are careful and you’re body is already used to it, there’s no reason to stop as long as you are having a normal healthy pregnancy.
