Don't read Dr Google... It hinders more then it helps some times...
I am not a dr, so in this is only in my personal opinion you will be ok... Try to leave the heavy lifting to someone else. . .
Ok here i go again.
I went to ikea yesterday with a friends DH and got the set of draws that we wanted. i needed to help him lift them from his car to my lounge room (i dont know why i didnt leave it in the car post for when DH got home, and am kicking myself since)
so after i helped carry the box weighing a total of 36kg backwards up the stairs, then went and got some lunch afterward i lay down and felt a really hard lump on my right side (i think this was the baby)
I have heard that you shouldnt lift during pg, but am i going to be OK? more to the point is my baby?
I went to bed at 7 as i was stressing and thoughts it best to sleep it off rather than get into a tiss.
I have had a few pains and have felt baby kick since.
I guess im worries as when i look at Dr Google i read things like it can reduce oxygen to the baby and cause brain damage? im sure i was talking and breathing as i was carrying it. It also says that it may cause the placenta to come away?????
I think it was more of an award shape and the fact i was walking backwards up the stairs didnt help.
should i be worried? i am seeing my Dr on Monday

If it was half the weight of 36kgs, I guess thats about the weight of an average toddler & loads of pregnant women carry them around every day
If everything seems fine, then it probably is. Just try to be careful in future.
I guess i am worried about how i lifted? and going backwards?? stupid!!!!(me)
lifting wont hurt bubs its more likely to hurt u eg ur back
Hi Loula
Your baby will be fine hun. 36Kg between 2 people is not that much weight. And if I hear that you have been on google again I will come round to your place, put you over my knee and slap your bun until it is bright red!!!!
No More Google
