Question 1

should i avoid lifting heavy objects while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Heavy lifting is not dangerous for your baby but, once your belly gets big, it is easy to injury your back. If you are going to do any lifting more than 20#, be very careful with your body mechanics. Lift from your legs, not just your back.

Question 2

is it safe to lift heavy objects while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No: You are not going to hurt the baby but may hurt your back.  My limit is about 30 pounds because that is roughly the size of a toddler and many women are pregnant with their second child and lifting their toddler.

Question 3

is it safe to move heavy objects while i am pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No: You won't hurt the baby, but you can hurt your back.  This will become more of an issue by the middle of your pregnancy when your back starts to curve more.  Avoid lifting more than thirty pounds if possible.

Question 4

why shouldn't pregnant women stretch out and hold heavy objects?

Accepted Answer

Premature labor: depending on how far pregnant you are, holding heavy objects may increase your risk of premature labor especially if you already have existing risks for preterm labor.

Question 5

i can't touch anything because i think i will get someone pregnant. can girls get pregnant from object that had semen on it?

Accepted Answer

Well...: My first question is why are you touching things that have semen on it? Just wash your hands. If there were semen on your hands and you placed it inside the vagina i suppose pregancy is possible.

Question 6

can a girl get pregnant from touching an object that has or had sperm on it? and later touches herself

Accepted Answer

It is highly unlikel: There are several factors to be considered. How long has the object you're speaking of had the sperm on it before being touched, how much time has elapsed since said girl touches herself and in what manner and where is the touching occuring?

Question 7

is it possible for a woman to get pregnant if she touches any object with fresh semen on it and then touch her vagina in the restroom after?

Accepted Answer

: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE BUT HOW FRESH IS THE SEMEN AND HOW LONG AFTER DID YOU TOUCH YOUR VAGINA? SEMEN LIKE TO SWIM IN A CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT SO HOW MUCH AND HOW FAR IN DID YOUR FINGERS GO? THERE HAVE CASES OF PREGNANCY WITHOUT PENETRATION. BE CAREFUL IN FUTURE AND AT ALL TIMES.

Question 8

if a woman touches any surface or object that has semen on it and then touches her vagina in the restroom afterwards, can she pregnant from that?

Accepted Answer

: Sperm die quickly in this circumstance:  you couldn't become pregnant from semen on an object or surface even if you tried. There certainly is zero risk from this sort of thing; nobody ever becomes pregnant in this manner. (Common sense tells you it's not possible:  if this could happen, why aren't there large numbers of pregnancies in women who never had sex?)

Question 9

can a girl get pregnant from touching an object that has or had sperm on it? and later masturbates minutes to an hour later after touchin the object

Accepted Answer

Very doubtful: I would guess that the odd's of this resulting in pregnancy would be astronomically low.

Question 10

im worried that sperm from masturbation may have transferred to household objects which may be touched by women in the toilet and lead to pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't: Sperm have rather specific living requirements. They die quickly when exposed to drying/ air. For such an event to happen they would have to insert the object into their genitals almost immediately after you deposited sperm. However, it is good to keep track of your swimmers.
