Hi, I worked as an AIN so heavy lifting all the time. I was fine with it untill I started getting the crap kicked out of me by the baby. Every time I lifted, I'd get a foot in the ribs or bladder so I asked the other girls to take a bit of the slack (which they happily did) and I handed my notice in. I had become uncomfortable lifting by that stage and I was swelling up by the end of my shifts. Off topic I know. Sorry. What I wanted to say is ur body and ur baby will let you know when to stop. Take notice of it and stop when it tells u to. U'll find ur bubs will probably kick u after u lift because by tightening the tummy muscles and bending slightly, u limit their space and they don't like that much! Good way to be reminded not to do it again tho *LMAO*.
