  • Could Heavy Lifting Have Caused a Miscarriage?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I and my husband used a ovulation test to define the two most fertile days. I still have two days to go to my period due day, but couple of days ago I lifted something extremely heavy. The evening after and the following day I felt pain in my stomach and back. Later I thought that my period was coming but now I don't feel anything.

    Do you think that if I was pregnant I may have done a miscarriage? Thank you for answering.

  • Lifting During Pregnancy

    QUESTIONS

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    Hi. I'm not sure yet if I'm pregnant or not but I have the symptoms of being pregnant. I have a question about lifting. I work at a place that requires lifting boxes sometimes and I was wondering what weight level would be safe to lift without hurting the baby if I am pregnant?

    Also, what kind of foods can one eat during pregnancy? What kind of exercises are recommended during pregnancy? Thanks for your time and attention.

  • Heavy Farm Work Harmful During Pregnancy?

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    Hi. I work on an organic farm and am about 4 weeks pregnant. I do a lot of heavy lifting throughout the day. When should I begin watching the amount of weight that I lift and what is too much. This is my second season farming so I'm fairly accustomed to heavy lifting, bending, etc.Thanks!
