Doing the dishes?

[ttrigg4]

I am 33 wks & 4days, as much as I despise cleaning it needs to get done no matter what. Since I'm not working on my last weeks of being pregnant everyone expects me to maintain the house clean. I've noticed doing the dishes the counter is putting to much pressure on my baby, will all this effect my unborn baby? Am I doing to much for my body at this stage?

Oh my mil is a neat freak and you can tell by her face that she is horrified when she walks in my house but my thought process for her is well you had a nanny so shut up!!! I have to twist completely sideways to do dishes so that's hubby job now, like the others said tho, listen to your body and work at a pace that your comfortable with... It'll all get done eventually

Thank you ladies! Next time someone complains to me about the house being "messy" I'll just show them your comments! Lol ;)

Oh my gosh yes I am the exact same even trying to take a shower my lower back/abdomen wants to give out, but cleaning does need to get done :( I have a long flight of stairs up to my apartment & I literally need to take a break every few steps. Being prego definitely takes all your energy!

I'm 37+5 and doing lots of things. It depends what your body is telling you. If you are tired and hurting than stop doing it. Everyone is different. You know your body best. That's what my obgyn keeps telling me. Just keep doing it until it doesnt feel comfortable any more.

Lol I'm only at 29 weeks and I am already standing somewhat to the side lol. It ***** a bit but helps. This is my fourth pregnancy, and my best advice is if its too uncomfortable for you than don't do it. As far as harming baby she/he is so wrapped in water perfectly safe. :-) blessings.
