If these are objects that you have routinely lifted before pregnancy without straining then is usually OK to continue.
If you are otherwise healthy, the pregnancy is going well, and you are accustomed to lifting heavy things you can probably continue, but be aware that the changes of your body may put you at more risk for muscle or joint strain. 15-20 pounds weight maximum is reasonable.
