Hard work during pregnancy will actually make her labor easier for her. Labor is hard work and their is nothing like getting in shape for it ahead of time. I was told that I could routinely lift up to 25 pounds when pregnant and up to fifty occasionally without any trouble. Perhaps this will help give you a guideline for choosing what to confront a pregnant woman about. We are notoriously emotional and sometimes cranky during pregnancy. *smile* Really though, any kind of work she did regularly before pregnancy should be fine, but you should rub her back and feet anyway.
