Carrying my 4 year old in early pregnancy🤯

So I’m nearly 7 weeks pregnant with a 4 year old boy and since I’ve told people that I’m expecting all I’ve heard is “don’t pick him up”. I know you’re suppsoed to be careful picking up/carrying anything heavy but am I putting my baby at risk by picking him up? I feel awful when he asks me to pick him up and I say I can’t

I was told it’s absolutely fine to continue with the same level of activity including lifting weights at the gym etc so considering you were obviously lifting your son before the pregnancy I’d say it’s absolutely fine. I think it’s really outdated advice not to do anything - my mum in law told me I wasn’t allowed to hoover 🤣

It’s fine… just carry on as normal x
