How heavy can a pregnant woman lift?

Pregnant women are not allowed to do physical work during pregnancy. The objects they need to lift should not exceed 20 kilograms. This is because excessive force on the waist and abdomen will cause uterine contractions, which will affect the development of the fetus. Therefore, when pregnant women need to lift heavy objects, it is best to let their husbands do it. Pregnant women should go out appropriately and keep their lumbar spine upright when lifting things to reduce the pressure on the fetus. They should bend their knees when putting things down.
