Lifting my five year old, is it ok? Just 6 weeks along..

Mommyofzoo is right you should not be carrying anything really heavy. I did that a couple of weeks ago by carrying a case of Ozarka water bottles that were pretty heavy and ended up tearing some muscles near my stomach that made me feel like someone had stabbed me with a knife. But I know for those of us mommies who already have little ones it's pretty hard not to want to pick them up when they ask you to. I have a 3 yr. old (30-36lbs.) and I hate telling her that I can't pick her up or what's worse is that she still wears diapers and when we go out I can't pick her up on to the changing table to change her. But I've learned a few tricks like asking her to climb in my lap like mommyofzoo or letting her father or grandma take her to the bathroom or asking for help from her dad, grandma, or aunts when she wants to be carried and I can't pick her up. I have a pretty supportive family who loves me and my daughter so I tend to rely on them in this situation.
