Should I limit myself with what to pick up? I have a 9mth old and pregnant 8 weeks?

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.

If your other child had the virus, then it's very likely that the baby has it too. You can use pedialyte or any electrolyte solution to keep the baby from getting dehydrated. Try putting some in a medicine dropper and giving it every minutes when he's awake. Infant tylenol will help with the fever and any pain he's in. Call your doctor for the correct dosage.

    What else can I do to help her?

    Answers Favorite Answer*Dairy can actually 'plug up' a child more. So if she has a lot of yogurt or cheese frequently,I'd cut some of that out of her diet for now. Other than that. Increase the amount of FRUIT you're giving her. There is far more fiber in the flesh and peel of fruits than in juice. Juice in all honesty is flavored sugar water with vitamin c. That is unless you fresh squeeze all of the juice you give her. And that is not the easiest for most of us who are busy! Soft fruits high in Fiber :-Apples-Avocado-Bananas (this one surprises most people)-Berries ; strawberries,raspberries,blueberries etc-Dried fruits ; Figs, Raisins, Apricots, Dates, etc.-Oranges-Pears-Prunes (actually at the bottom of the 'highest fiber fruits' list)yes more liquids, try a small amount of prune juice, please skip suppositories, any un-needed medications are not good for young children / babies, they can cause harm in the long run. Does baby go daily? Also what foods you are feeding be sure they are age appropriate!Have you ever spoken to a pediatric gastroenterologist about it?I have a feeling you may be giving too much juice.prun juice helps and massaging her belly with baby oil Read more
