A member asked:
Can heavy lifting cause water broke early or can it cause preterm labor?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Though unlikely i don't recommend weight lifting of heavy weights in pregnancy. I doubt it could cause preterm labor, but i still don't recommend it.

Possible : But unlikely . More probably you would hurt your back. If you have an incompetent cervix or are dilated it is possible the activity of very heavy lifting may cause preterm labor or water to break.
