Work

Ideally not lifting more than 10kg we were advised by our clinic Can you do it in smaller chunks? However In lots of other countries lots of women work manual labour and long days and out in the fields etc etc and they have happy healthy babies

Tell your boss. I worked in a factory full of dangerous things and had to tell them at 5 weeks pregnant and was moved immediately as there is laws on it x

I have to pick up to 20.2kg but my manager says im aloud but im still unsure x

You have lots of rights being a pregnant worker in the uk and if you tell your employer you don’t think comfortable or safe in you current job they have to try find alternative work. You employer has to do a risk assessment of you job which includes heavy lifting so they should move you away fro that anyway Have a read of this and contact them if needs be. There really helpful! I contacted them when I was in a similar situation to you https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/work/maternity-and-parental-rights/check-your-maternity-and-parental-rights/rights-while-pregnant-or-on-maternity-leave/rights-while-youre-pregnant-at-work/
