Carrying heavy things while pregnant.

I work in retail and it requires a lot of walking and carrying, pushing, pulling of heavy stuffs. I'm currently pregnant going to 8 weeks. I'm feeling better than when I'm at week 5/6. Should I still be cautious and avoid doing all those things? I'm pregnant for the first time. It kinda kills me asking ppl for help when I feel like I can do it but at the same time I don't want to regret my actions if something unfortunate happens.

Try not to. I work in hotel front line. And i regretted it too. Suntimes i tot its ok to carry those luggages as they're not that heavy but we shouldn't. So u shud tell pple at work that ur pregnany and ask for help instead. In my case, i didn't tell pple at work only the close ones but we might not be on same shift hence i do things on my own..
