Can lifting heavy things while pregnant hurt the baby in third trimester ? will it cause early labor or miscarriage/still birth?

Generally safe : In general lifting objects does not cause problems for pregnancy but obviously if something is too heavy for you or makes you uncomfortable then it should be avoided.
