They should allow you to work on other roles less physically demanding . should not discriminate u

No, not advisable. Its the company’s implicit way of saying they don’t want to hire you.

Do inform the HR person. They need to move you to another role less physically demanding

Oh no mummy! Ur pregnancy is more valuable to risk especially in the first trimester.

You are not suppose to carry heavy load the moment you found out you're pregnant.

The company implicitly hinting that they don’t want to hire you.

No why would you even want to consider such job. 20kg is no joke.

Better not!! It’s dangerous, you’re risking a miscarriage.

Oh noooo, please stop. You’re still at a vulnerable stage

Nooooooooo! Please please stop carrying heavy things
