A lot of pregnant women wonder about how much weight is too much when it comes to lifting. That answer is different for everyone. It depends on your overall health condition, your pregnancy history and so the best thing to do is talk to your OB provider and based on their knowledge of your pregnancy history and your overall health they can give you the best recommendation. For example there are some women who have totally uncomplicated pregnancies and were exercising and lifting weight before they got pregnant and their bodies may be able to tolerate more weight than someone who is having preterm labor issues because increased activity will cause an increase in contractions. Your doctor would probably advise you to rest and not lift any weight. Again, their recommendations can be different for everyone and what's right for one person may not be right for another.
