I have just found out I'm pg so around 4/5 weeks.
I have a dilemma. I work as a shift manager for a well known supermarket convenience store. (Think Tesco express) I have a job that requires A LOT of heavy lifting and pulling. If I'm on early, which is maybe 1 or 2 shifts out of my 3 I am responsible for pulling in delivery. This can be anything between 5 and 16 cages of stock inc cases of pop. The delivery drivers are not allowed to assist (although some will but this is rare). Other members of staff are also unable to help as you have to be trained in taking tail lift deliveries. Only management are trained and only one management member is on to take delivery.
So my question... how long can I do this for before it becomes a risk to my baby? I don't want to not work hard just because I'm pg but this is physically demanding.
I am wary of telling my manager yet as my last pg ended in mc at 9 weeks. I am also waiting for him to sort out my pay rise and knowing him this news will cause a delay in that happening! I have only worked there 6.5 mo so telling him is gonna be shit anyway.
