How much weight can i lift when i am pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Your body should tell you what is too much and what is ok. If you have a normal pregnancy. If your pregnancy is high risk your recomandations will vary depending on the problem. Best way is to talk with your ob/gyn to get accurate information.
