hi all-

quick question….i am a FTM and have been on and off pelvic rest since week 6 (i am 13 wks now) due to spotting.   my question is how much weight can you lift while on pelvic rest?  I am supposed to babysit my nieces and nephew tomorrow, the two older ones are 6 and 9, but the baby is 9 months and 20lbs.  and the baby wants to be held all the time bc she is teething and miserable.  just curious what amount of weight is ok to lift, my doctor just said no heavy lifting but no specific #.  thanks in advance!

    I am also on pelvic rest and my 2.5yo is 23lbs and I was given the go ahead to lift her when needed.  I m not carrying her around for long amounts of time and try to hold her when we are sitting...or just give quick lifts! 

    You should be ok!!
