From what I have been told, it depends on what your body is used to, and what you can do without over-exerting yourself.

Answer #2

I was told not to lift more than 25 pounds with each pregnancy. Your tot is big enough for a toddler bed and to eat at the kichen table with help of a booster seat. You could always buy a kid table and chair set for meal time. They should be on sale because its the end of the season. Try not to lift him but due to his age and the situation you really have no choice but to lift him briefly at certain times. You can always call your obgyn and ask if lifting your son could be a possible risk to your pregnancy.
