Lifting After Birth

I work in a granite shop, I'm on temp leave right now, but plan on going back after the baby's born. I was just wondering how long after everyone's birth they were able/feeling up to lifting HEAVY weights. I'm thinking a month, but am I delusional?

I was told not to try to lift my son after giving birth to my daughter and he was only 10 months old. Of course I ignored my doc and picked him up when he came to see me in the hospital.. the doctor walked in and told me that lifting anything even remotley heavy so soon after giving birth could cause my uterus to fall!! Of course I put him down right away and didn't lift anything heavy for the recommended 2 weeks. With really HEAVY stuff, I'd wait the full 6 weeks if I were you.
