A member asked:
Is it okay to lift 50 pounds or more in the third trimester? i'm going to be 32 weeks, and starting a cna program. what would you say is the limit?

Possible: If that is part of your usual activity. How big are you? . Bigger, clumsy items can hurt your back. Handles, straps may make it easier. If unusual, work up to it in gradual steps and be careful with the lift, position, posture etc probably 20-25 pounds - grocery bag size is more reasonable.
