Carry heavy items

My boss have been asking me to carry heavy items and packing it despite the fact that I’ve already told her I’m pregnant. 5 months pregnant currently. Is there anything I can do it since she’s not been understanding at all? #advicepls

If this convo happens again, you could say “oh I am so sorry, I won’t be able to carry this, shall we get xxxx or the team to help?” I think sometimes some people needs to be told in their face. Maybe they genuinely didn’t think through or remember that you mentioned before that you cannot lift heavy items. It takes two hands to clap. You can reiterate and put your point across but also give suggestions on who else can help. Perhaps, that would help you manage the situation better.
