Question:

Can I still operate heavy machinery?

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about operating heavy machines while pregnant? I operate graders most of the time. I am 10 weeks pregnant with my first child, I have been an operator for the last 4 years. Doctor told me the only problem would be to do with tiredness but i'm more worried about the roughness and vibrations causing harm.

Answer:

If doc said it was okay then it should be. Women run while preggo. I'm sure at a certain number of weeks the doc might tell you to stop.
if your pregnant, you shouldn't. you are most likely going to become tired and lifting heavy machinery while being tired is a horrible idea.
