She stands there (she is not strong enough to lift it and is 81)and looks for someone who is big and looks strong! (usually a young amle who looks like a footballer!!) She then flashes a big smile and says "I don't know if I am able to do this.... Could you help? " This is a direct appeal to the said person's ego and they always respond helpfully! In Bali the respect for the elderly also helps. If you are visibly pregnant, then hold your stomach to get the point accross. However, be reassured unless you have a medical condition which prevents you lifting apart from being pregnant, then a little lift won't hurt your baby.
