<p>I had my first appointment today, at about 5 weeks, just kind of a medical history and lab tests, etc, no exam or ultrasound or anything. One thing the nurse told me (not the CNM, just the nurse doing the intake), was that I shouldn't be lifting more than 20 pounds, so that I don't put too much strain on myself or something. I wasn't told this during my first pregnancy. I'm healthy and have no history or risk of pregnancy complications. Has anyone else been told this, or taken this seriously? I'm thinking it would be impossible anyway, since I have a 32 lb. 3-year-old I pick up and carry all the time. What do you think? Should I just ignore this and continue picking up my daughter and other things, or already start being cautious? Thanks!</p>
