Carrying Around a Toddler while Pregnant Pregnant women are always told not to do any heavy lifting. However you may have a 20 to 30 pound load that refuses to be put down. If you have a toddler at home, you know what I’m talking about. There will undoubtedly be times when you have to pick her up and carry her. The good news is your don’t have to deny your toddler. You can pick him up and carry him with relatively little concern.

Lifting heavy objects really poses little risk to your developing baby. The risks involved with lifting are aimed at you. When you lift heavy objects, you are at a greater risk of injury for several reasons. First, your ligaments are stretching and your joints are loosening. It is easier now to pull a muscle or hurt your back. Second, your center of gravity is shifting. It is harder to maintain your balance and much easier to fall.

When the need arises, proper lifting can protect you from injury. Make sure to bend your knees while lifting and let your legs support the weight. While carrying around a toddler, hold him or her close to your body. Taking these measures will help you to meet your toddler’s needs without the unwanted pain of a strained back or pulled muscles.
