Heavy lifting

I was just wondering what/if any you were told about lifting boxes or in general.  I read anything under 25 is probably fine, but I was just curious.

I was told no heavy lifting only for two days after transfer.

My RE is pretty strict, he says no lifting over 15 lbs for all of first tri. But he also had me on full bed rest for 2 days after ET, so he's a conservative guy!

I couldn't lift anything over 10 pounds until we were released from the RE at about 7.5 weeks.

I had no restrictions on lifting except those of standard pregnancy...which I can't even get a definitive answer on, so I just do what feels comfortable.  If I'm straining, it's too heavy.

FWIW, I moved all the furniture in my family room the day of my transfer, by myself.

This! Then I didn't have any restrictions. I was just told not to lift more than I can handle.

I wasn't given any restrictions.  I constantly lift my DD.  She is about 27 lbs.  I am positive I don't lift anything else though!

i was on a 15 pound restriction the whole pregnancy, including right after transfer.

I was told nothing over 15 pounds by my RE until I met OB at 12 weeks and she said up to 25 was ok.

I've never had restrictions of any kind just was told to take it easy and not do anything out of the ordinary. I really only play the "I can't lift it, it's too heavy" card at work when I'm exhausted or at home to get DH to help with stuff. Today I'm home alone and grocery shopped and brought all the bags in and up two levels to our kitchen....as long as I don't get too winded or feel pain I'm ok with it.
