Housework sucks!

[LynneK]

I HATE housework!! I love the feeling knowing the house is clean and fresh but I detest the task 😢

also, I was wondering what level of strenuous we should be avoiding just now. I feel like I'm just forgetting I'm even pregnant (no symptoms other than some breathlessness) so I'm up and downstairs with the Hoover, the mop and bucket, changing beds, up and down with washing loads.

Am I doing too much? Can't really stop but am I taking a risk I shouldn't

You're fine to carry on pretty much as normal hun. Just don't lift anything really heavy (although even that is only a big problem when you have a bump and have to hold things out in front of you).

It's better to try and stay active in pregnancy and as much fun as housework isn't, at least you're keeping active.

I suppose that's true! Although I'm not convinced I'm v gd at being active just now. I changed the bed over and have now been lying on the fresh sheets for about half an hour ��

I was never this worried with my little boy but I've noticed I'm a lot more sore with this baby, like twisting the wrong way hurts really bad, and sneezing causes a sharp stabbing pain. I think it's round ligaments and probs more pronounced because I've had my little boy but my god it hurts x

Just listen to your body hun and do what you feel up to.

I have had some pretty bad ligament pain too. It's mostly when I get up and then I cross the room double over like an old lady! Lol!

It's normal to feel it more in 2nd pregnancy plus. I'm really feeling it with #3 so making sure I listen to my body and take it easy when I need to. Housework is exhausting atm, I feel your pain!
