@vibrantmamawellness: Meanwhile, your toddler weighs 30 🤷🏻‍♀️ Let’s talk about it 👇🏼 The general recommendation to avoid lifting more than 15–20lbs during pregnancy is outdated and honestly unrealistic. Especially for second-time (or third, or fourth…) moms! Car seats? Strollers? Laundry baskets? Grocery bags? Dogs? 
Your own kids??? Most of these things way more than 15lbs. Lifting during pregnancy isn’t inherently dangerous. It just needs to be done in a way that supports your changing body. That means: ✅ Breathing in a way that manages intra-abdominal pressure
✅ Using form that protects your core and pelvic floor
✅ Adjusting loads, reps, and intensity as your pregnancy progresses This is what I teach my 1:1 clients so that they can lift without fear or pain. 
Because strength in pregnancy isn't about hitting PRs. 
It's about staying functional, mobile, and confident through every trimester. Questions about lifting during your pregnancy?
