Hi girlies - need some more advice please! Just being a right old worrywart.
Before, when I was finished with a set of notes, I could bundle up the notes with string in piles 4-8" high (10-20cm), light enough to carry, and move them from my office to the main office to be collected.
I've just been told that when I'm finished with my notes I am to put them in large, foot-high green boxes (1ft=30cm), take these boxes from my room into the main office and stack them so that the files can be returned to main filing.
Now, the empty boxes themselves aren't light, and even half-full of notes (large sets, that are made to take lots of A4-size letters, notepaper and reports) they are blooming heavy. Even large sets of these notes aren't light, but I'm used to lifting those so aren't that worried about them.
I've e-mailed the woman who instigated these changes to complain as this isn't too great at 10w pregnant, let alone later on in my pregnancy, but just wondered if I should force this woman to provide someone to do the lifting for me. OK, so right now I'm actually putting the notes on my chair, booling the chair round to the main office and loading up the boxes on the floor in there so I don't lift them, but they are heavy and I do still have a valid point! But I couldn't manually carry half of what I put on my chair and 2 chairs=3 boxes, so a box is certainly even heavier than I could manage.
Am I just worrying about nothing (again!) or is this a proper health hazard to my baby? This is a new thing, so I wasn't doing it pre-pregnancy and am completely unused to carrying these boxes.
