Pregnancy and physical effort?

23-year-old woman3 years ago

Can a 5 week pregnant woman work? Like moving or lifting heavy things? Standing for hours? Is it too risky to do this kind of work in early pregnancy? If I should stop this job or not because it is physically exhausting

Thank you for your question. However, it would be better to redirect your question to your family physician or obstetrician/gynecologist. Each pregnancy is a case by case situation and it is impossible for me to give an opinion because your question is beyond the scope of pharmacy practice.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
