Lifting your LO while pg

Is there a point when you stopped lifting your LO? DD weighs 24lbs and it's getting so hard to lift her. I know it will get harder as this pg progresses. She walks so I've been trying to have her hold my hand and walk and crawl up the stairs herself. I go back to work in 2 weeks and I'm looking forward to not having to lift her all day!

    There probably shoud have been a point that I stopped lifting the boys, but I didn't.  I just had #3 last week, and I lifted my 3yo and my almost 2yo right up until the end.  In fact, sometimes I had to carry them both.

    Of course, my 3yo is probably only 25-30 lbs, and almost 2yo is not quite 25 lbs.

    DS is abouy 27-28 lbs and I still lift him.  It doesn't bother me too much and he's pretty clingy right now.  When I know I can't do it, I do my best to distract him and have him walk or I sit down and have him climb on my lap.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't :(  Good luck!

    My dd is about 24 pounds and I haven't had a problem lifting her yet.  I plan to continue holding her till the very end as long as it is safe.

    I lifted any/all kids while PG. I had around a 40-45lb weight restriction, but was also told to listen to my body.

    DD#1 is 4.5 and around 32lbs right now, so she's VERY light.......DD#2 is and always was a peanut (I think she was like 21lbs at age 2?)

    Still lifting DS but he's a peanut--maybe 25 pounds soaking wet. I still make him walk up and down the stairs on his own whenever possible. Just listen to your body, you'll know when you're at your limit.

    My son weighs 31 lbs, and I still lift him a lot. I am super petite (under 100 lbs at 24 weeks pregnant), but I don't see a way around it since I stay at home, and it's just the two of us most of the day. I encourage him to be independent and walk as much as possible, but he can't get himself in the crib, high chair, or car seat.

    I'm still lifting DS, but I have been making him walk most of the time. I can say that lifting him has gotten easier than it was in the middle of the pregnancy, I'm not sure if I'm stronger or what.

    I'm 31 weeks pregnant and DS is 28lbs and I got to my breaking point yesterday when I pulled some kind of muscle in my lower abdomen hoisting him into a shopping cart.  I'm typing from bed right now while my sister watches him because I'm in agony.  Be careful!
