I'm now exactly 19 weeks along in my pregnancy as of today. A year ago, I started working on a Recycling truck. This requires me to lift bins(low on the ground) that weigh anywhere between 10lbs up to 70lbs. I lift hundreds upon hundreds a day. Constantly bending over,up and down.And, even sometimes haveing to lean the bin halfway on my belly.I already explained all this to my Dr. and he knows exactly what I do for work.My Dr. told me to keep working till the first of the year.He told me that seince I had been doing it for so long and that my body is used to it, I won't strain the baby at all.He basicly told me the only way to really physicly injure your baby is to basicly put a shotgun right up to your uterus because the baby is so well protected. I trust my Dr. 100% but, there still is this little peice of worry in me.I feel physicly able to continue work and don't wanna stop till the first of the year....I even heard babys heart beat 2 weeks ago at a healthy 150-160bpm..... I just want every thing to go smoothly and want my baby so bad!!! I'm scared that if I continue doing it that I'll basicly kill my baby. Maybe I'm over exagerateing(spelling) a bit?????????(I haven't felt any movement yet either), Atleast I don't think I have..... what do you ladies think about my lifting heavy things and harming my lil one?Is my Doc. right?
