work or rest???

[sohu]

My due date is nov 21st. I just want to know that in this last stage, should I rest or do homechores as I do in my daily routine??
What is better?
In my first trimester, I didn't take rest as i was going to the university.
In second trimester, I travelled alot and took little rest.

My first child I worked at a day care and I worked till I went into labor with my second I worked till the friday before my c section and this baby I'm a stay at home mom but will still do housework till I have the baby. It depends on how your body feels andn ifyour able too.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm 37 weeks now and finding chores difficult.  Like when i sweep the kitchen I find it difficult to bend over to scoop up the dust. Also I find cleaning out the bath difficult too. I feel like I might be squishing the baby when I try to bend as it feels uncomfortable!

I'm due the 20th of this month haha. Go off of how your body feels! If you feel like you can keep up with the work place then that's fine to do, but if you think resting would benefit you and the baby do that... Every mom is different. I don't work but still do house chores, yard work if necessary,  and walk and hour or two on the treadmill in increments throughout the day (makes labor easier?). Do what you can, some days are better than others :)

My opinion is to do your routine but rest more often, I personally would go crazy not doing anything. Maybe do a bit around the house, rest a bit, rinse repeat.
