To clarify, very heavy weightlifting is personal based, and it is suggested you do what your body is naturally comfortable doing. We're not talking lifting stuff to set new PR's here. I'm talking lifting well within my margin of what I can lift right now.
Avoiding most heavy lifting is a vague and unhelpful way to state it. Doctors and research backs lifting within your margin of comfort (aka, correct lifting posture and without overstraining the body) for as long as you are comfortable doing so. The research I've read doesn't back premature labor or low birth weight for women who exercise regularly using weight lifting as part of their routine. In fact, sources indicate better labor outcomes with quicker recovery. Happy to give you links if you need citation.
