heavy lifting while 5 weeks pregnant

My work requires me to do heavy lifing? Will it lead to miscarriage?

How heavy is it? It would be best to avoid heavy lifting as far as possible. That being said, even when I was full term, I sometimes had to carry my 13.5kg elder daughter when she was crying. But generally, try not to overexert too much

Try to avoid:) You’ll need to speak to your boss. And if no other work is assigned to you.. then you might really have to consider changing jobs. I came to realise that no job is worth the life of my babies.

No, you must avoid. If your office doesn't permit and refuse to reassign lighter duty or terminate your service due to your pregnancy, you may seek help from MOM.

Pls inform ur in charge of ur pregnancy and request to do something light. If u r in retail line, try to ask if can just do cashiering.

You should to your manager about this. Try and avoid carrying heavy things for now...

Please talk to your manager and explain it’s not ok during pregnancy

Ask your Gynae to write you a letter so you can send it to your boss and HR.
