Bariatric Heavy
Bariatric Heavy
I'm 7 weeks pregnant I work as a CNA / Bath aide I am considered "high risk" How much can I lift?


After trying 2 1/2 years, and fighting thyroid problems, my husband and I recently found out we are expecting. However, I work at a skilled long term care facility (one step below the hospital) I work 10 hour days, on my feet constantly, and the work involves heavy lifting, (the facility I work at specializes in bariatric residents). My question is, being high risk, what is the weight limit I should be lifting, and what are any other precautions I should be taking? Any help would greatly be appreciated!!
Sorry, I am considered high risk because of my thyroid, I have severe Hashimoto's disease, also previous miscarriage.
I have only been do my endro., not seen an OBGYN, I have made an appt. to see her nurse, soonest she could get me in was 9/27, and she said the doctor doesn't see her patients until they are 12 weeks.

i also am high risk and am a cna in a nursing facility.
i was able to lift the normal amount of wieght a regular pregnancy, up until 4 in a half months. thats 20-25pounds
then i couldnt work that many hours and eventually started doing less and less. now i dont work just to be safe.i am 30 weeks pregnant now. i go every 2weeks to see the doctor and have the whole pregnancy. so if you are going that much as well then you should be okay becuase they monitor you. if you are not going as much then i wouldnt risk the chance of a miscarriage especially you not being that far along and take it easy until a doctor tells you specifically what u should and shouldnt do. 10 hours is a very long time to be on yor feet.and eventually you will start being very worn out.plus does your doctor know you stand that long?u dont want to wear out your fetus or put any strain so you should schedule an appointment if you dont have one soon to find all of this out.
good luck.

Umbilical Hernia - What are the Considerations?


Hi everyone,

I'm 34 and in fair shape (I'm 6'1 and 225 lbs), and my regular doctor says I have a small umbilical hernia (I think from helping my father-in-law move some heavy stuff in his garage). It's a small bulge in my belly button - it's mostly just annoying and unsightly. There is no pain...just weakness in the area. Size is maybe .5 inch or so.

I got a second opinion from a bariatric specialist MD and he confirmed the diagnosis. I'm thinking about having the surgery, but I'm worried about the recovery, infection, mesh vs. non-mesh. Are there any good free (and trustworthy) websites to read reviews of my Dr?

For those of you in the medical field or if you've had this procedure, what are the considerations? I have some anxiety and don't know what questions to ask. Any help is welcome and appreciated.
All comments and input are welcome. I'm really having a hard time with this decision. Thanks again!

Umbilical hernia - i.e. protrusion of abdominal organ through an opening in abdominal wall.In your case its a small one.Treatment is simple - to reduce the content in to the abdomen & repair of the opening.U may not need a mesh repair as your opening is likely to be a small one which can be bridged by your body tissue.Not to worry & go ahead for surgery.
