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 stop doing it since I’m pregnant. My husband volunteer to help vacuum. I don’t do mopping and washing toilet as that’s his job all along.. you shouldn’t bend too much and you shouldn’t inhale too much detergent for toilet cleaning based on my reading. Can you get him to do it? My husband will ask me to go far away if he is washing toilet. Rest more if you want to exercise just go for gentle walk is good!

same same, since pregnant I don't do washing toilet and mopping too, my husband will do it when I go office work,so can totally avoid the chemical smell. only sometimes help to do light chores like putting laundry, but hanging clothes my husband do it, he usually do laundry too. sometimes I do light vacuum if i feel cannot take it alr, but now usually husband do it. whenever don't want to do anythg just ask my husband help to do it. I prefer go out walk walk , said to help in labour. but now walking also abit tiring because tummy become heavier. so I avoid climbing staircase now,very tired. 31 weeks now.
