1. Can I move 20-liter water can from one place to another during pregnancy?
The Answer Is NO. Because a 20-liter water bottle is 15 kg and lifting it or turning it can put pressure on your pelvis or abdomen and doing this regularly can lead to miscarriage. Always remember that in pregnancy you shouldn’t carry any weight which is more than 10 kgs. When you are lifting some weight don’t lift it directly from the floor. Bend your needs, bring the object close to you by your hands, and slowly get up. Don’t twist or turn when you are lifting heavy objects. Any pain in the abdomen or light spot of blood is a sign that you have put more pressure on your back, pelvis, and abdomen by lifting something heavy. This pain will slowly go away once you take a rest and don’t repeat the same in the future. If you have someone at home take their help. If no one is there then wait till your partner comes home to help you.
2. Can I carry my toddler or child during pregnancy?
Yes, you can carry your toddler but not for a long period. Always try to avoid it. But if you have no other choice then don’t lift the child directly from the floor. Bend your knees, lift him into your arms, and slowly get up. If you have any pregnancy complications then you shouldn’t carry any heavy weight and your doctor will tell you what restrictions will be there for women with pregnancy complications like short cervix, preterm labor, bleeding, early contractions, other diseases, etc.

12. I accidentally spilled 3 to 4 spoons of hot boiling water or soup on my pregnant belly. Will it hurt my unborn baby?
Nothing to worry about. Remember that your baby is safe inside the wall of your uterus and your skin has 7 layers along with muscles under it. If you spilled hot water, it may burn your outer skin or the second layer if the burns are more. It cannot go inside further. The burnt area may become red along with some blisters and You may have some pain for the next 1 to 2 days. Always remember to wash the burnt area with tap water for at least 5 to 10 minutes as soon as you get burnt to prevent the area from further damage. Don’t rub ice cubes on that area as soon as you get a burn. This can tear your burnt skin layer. No need to apply any ointments or toothpaste if the burn is mild. If the burn is severe or the pain is very severe you can call your doctor,
13. What are some effective Home remedies for fever, throat pain, cold, and cough in pregnancy?
The common cold is one of the widespread viruses that we all get once or twice every year due to climate change, from another person, from the environment around us, etc. Young children and pregnant women are more prone to this infection as they have low immunity. Almost every pregnant woman might have experienced this. Since we cannot take any medications during pregnancy, it becomes difficult for us to fight for them. It may take a little longer to cure without medicine but it surely goes away after 1 to 2 weeks. You can have warm liquids, green tea, coffee, milk tea, black tea, lukewarm water, salt water gargles, ginger and honey tea, honey in lukewarm water, veg, and non-veg soups, apply Vicks, take steam twice a day with Vicks, and eat raw ginger or garlic to ease your throat pain, cough, and cold symptoms. For fever, if you have a low fever like 98 or 99 degrees Fahrenheit, no need to take a Calpol tablet. If it’s more than 100, you can take Calpol 500mg tablet after asking your doctor.
