First of all I would say it depends on how far u are and not only That but also whether or not u were lifting heavy before pregnancy. It's easy to strain yourself when lifting specially because your balance isn't as good. I'm 120 pounds pretty petite if I lift 50 pounds that's Def not safe lol.
I have the same problem as you in my arms but will tell you I have a big improvement since doing weight lifting pyramid style...each exercise 12 reps with a 2lb weight, 10 reps with a 5 lb weight and 8 reps with a 8 lb weight. You should include exercises that build your bone density. When we get older we need all the help we can get.
I was recently moving into a new house - doing some very heavy lifting that I should have called for backup with, and the next day began having sharp pains in my lower-right abdominal quadrant. I also had serious bowel irregularities and nausea. Afraid that I might have been dealing with appendicitis, I went to the ER. After a CT scan, tons of testing, and a thorough physical examination the doctor concluded that it was as epididymitis.
I'm 21yrs old and 9 weeks pregnant. I work for an airline and sometimes lift 50lbs bags at check in. I've heard lifting heavy weight can be bad and lead to miscarriages. However I've also heard that because I have done this job for the past 2 years I should be fine because my body has adapted to it. I told management and they said the only thing they could do is congratulate me...
What is the weight limit for lifting when you're 5 weeks??
is it safe to take 125 mg of cipro each day for 6 months I was prescribed this for a UTI that keeps coming back. Also the pharmacy that filled the prescription gave me 250mg tablets and told me they aren't made in 125mg. and for me to break in half . But the info that comes with the meds says not to break.crush, or chew.
U could get a hernya or miscarriage lifting so much weight girl!
depends what you are talking about... weight lifting, if you were doing it before you were pregnant then your fine to continue doing what you did at the gym if it still feels comfortable. if you mean things around the house and so on i carry loads of laundry at home up and down are flight of stairs since the beginning im 32 wks now ( no problems) i also have a 4 year old niece i carried early in pregnancy she's probably about 25 or 30 lbs.
Weight limits and lifting really depends on your doctor's comfort level. Some say 20lb limit, some say 40. You'll really need to talk to your doctor about your restrictions. Some women are able to do heavier lifting through their pregnancy without any issues, but that's by no means a guarantee. Lifting can put undue strain on your body and abdomen. You want to avoid the stress on your body as in rare instances, it can cause miscarraige or early labor.
) My doctor initially did blood and urine tests, all negative, and put me on Cipro and Flomax for 10 days. The symptoms did not go away after the 10 days. He sent me to a urologist who got fluid from my penis through an anal exam for a culture. It came back resistant to the Cipro. He put me on sulfameth/trimethoprim for three weeks. I am currently 2 weeks into the 3 week supply, and the symptoms are still not gone.
Again, blood and urine, now about 5 weeks after, again all negative. Was put on Cipro for ten days, along with Flomax. After 10 days, still have same symptom of needing to urinate. Sent to Urologist. After his exam, he got fluid to excrete from my penis with anal exam, culture showed resistance to Cipro. He gave me Bactrim, which I have been on since July 6th. This is the 17th, and the symptom still has not gone away.
Hello. About 4 years ago after lifting a heavy item I had some left testicle pain that was diagnosed as epididymitis, the doctor at the time told me to take Advil and go easy for a while and it cleared up a few weeks later. 2 years ago I had left testicle pain, a different doctor did an ultrasound to check for a hernia and when it came back negative gave me the same advice and it cleared up in a few weeks.
I'm 37 weeks and I weight train about 4 times a week. Just eight pounds and very slow, I also do an hour of cardio about 5 times a week, I've always worked out though. Ask ur doctor first, I didn't work out my first trimester also. Good luck.
I have to do some minor heavy lifting for my job. I'm only 6 wks along and am trying to wait until after Christmas to tell anyone at work. Does anyone know what the maximum weight I should be lifting at this point is?
Also to bulk up you want to totally exhaust the muscle. Lift as much weight as you can (ALWAYS tighten your abs when lifting and engage your pelvic floor -the muscles you use to stop the peeing- to protect your low back). You can do fewer reps, but with more weight and stop only when you can't take anymore. Rest about 30 sec and do a few more-- even just 2 at maximum weight. Rest than do even just one more. By now (if you are using enough weight) your muscle should be screaming.
