Heavy lifting

Hi guys after a bit of advice/calm my nerves… I’m almost 23 weeks pregnant and I’ve very stupidly carried a tv down 2 flights of stairs… have I done something wrong? Have i hurt the baby?😅

I’m 22 + 3 and lift heavy at work. I guess it’s down to personal preference and u know your own body and your own capabilities xxx

Not at all! Yes you shouldn’t carry heavy things when pregnant but it only really applies if it’s something you never used to do pre pregnancy. It’s good to keep doing things, keep active and keep your strength just as long as your not pushing yourself out of the bounds you did pre pregnancy. Ie if you all of a sudden decided to start lifting weights as a beginner while pregnant xo

My obstetrician okayed lifting weights as long as it's something you did before x

I wouldn't worry if it's a one off though (the TV)

I moved house when I was 30 weeks pregnant and at 32 weeks my hind waters went. I was lifting furniture and pushing beds across the room etc and I’ve always wondered if it was linked so have avoided as far as possible this time around xx

I’ve got a toddler and have to carry/lift him all the time, so I wouldn’t worry!
