pregnant ladies go out and do housework

Do you go out for some nearby groceries and do housework like wash toilet and mopping, sweeping floor? How about simple cooking? Me 20weeks. Am doing mopping and washing toilet but not as thoroughly as last time. Cos back pain after doing. After cooking and washing I also feel back pain and head heavy.... Not sure if anyone same as me...

I did all that when I was pregnant. Just had to be extra careful. I know some women cannot do these so if you feel pain when doing those, better stop doing. 😊

Ya that's normal.. Just do within your means.. Sometimes i get irritated because my body is falling me even just a simple task washing toilet. But is ok. It will pass.

Yes, i’m still doing all the weekly house chores plus cooking daily except washing the toilet which my husband been helping out 😊

I still mop floor and clean surfaces. Now in third tri. Wearing gloves all the time, once a week. Reduce cooking for less chores

I still wash toilet and laundry.. but hubby dont allow me to mop floor scare later floor too slippery. He will help me to mop

Not doing much since I got discovered I got pregnant as I am really really tired. Hubby is the one doing everything.

I still do all that! But just space it out a bit more, take my time to do the chores and take breaks in between.
