You need to stop lifting cases of pop/water. It is not good for the baby at all. I have to admit though that I did it while I was about as far along as you are and everything is fine. Just make sure if you have to do it that it is in fact, only a few a day. And talk to your doctor. Good luck with everything!

I lifted patients ( I was a RN) until 1 month before delivery
I exercised and worked until 1 week before due date
there is no problems with lifting, and or exercising unless you are already having a problem pregnancy

Pregnant mommas should not be lifting anything mroe than they have to. I would think that your employer would not want you lifting, and if they MAKE you lift, then this is a big issue. Take it easy on your body---it's harboring a wonderful baby!

shouldn't left anything more than 25-30 lbs. IF it weighs less than that then u should be fine. Just don't force urself

as long as you have been doing this job for a while and feel no discomfort while lifting the packages...then I would say you're fine

i would not risk it, nobody can be definitely sure that it would not affect the baby, you should take it easy and let the father work
