30 weeks & mowing the grass
Hello, I wanted to know what ya'll do about mowing the grass? I'm 30w3d and live on a farm. My hubby runs a lawn care business, and I've helped the past three years. But I'm not going this year. I wanted to see what ya'll think about mowing at my house & on the farm. I mean if I go slow & watch for bumps, which I know where they all are. I would think I'd be okay, but I don't know...
It would all depend on how comfortable you feel with doing this. As long as your not getting over heated, taking some breaks and not over doing it I would think it would be ok.
I'd definitely stop if I wasn't feeling alright, and probably wear something over my face to keep from injesting grass and dirt, but otherwise, it's probably just like every other exercise. Maybe run it by your doctor?
My doctor said its my decision, but it could cause pre-term labor the closer I get to my due date which is why my hubby is concerned.
She also said its no different than riding in a vehicle, you just feel the bumps faster because what your on.
I was told not to mow the lawn using a tractor mower after my first trimester. Even if you watch for bumps you will likely not be able to avoid them all. I am leaving the mowing to hubby and will handle the weed-whacking and gardening. =)
I'd mow for a couple weeks, stop for a little while then at 39 weeks mow every day! Lol j/k it's whatever makes you comfy. My first pregnancy I push mowed, weed wacked, hedge clipped, the whole nine yards. I had no one else to do it (my ex.hub was ungodly lazy), and we lived in an area that would fine you if your yard got "out of acceptable curb appeal limits". It was a real thing and they'd put a giant yellow sign in your yard if you were in violation.
Lol. My hubby mows 90+ acres a week for his business. He mows our grass too, because he doesn't like the way I do it. lol. I'd weed wack, but apparently I hold the weed wacker against my stomach which scares my hubbers. I think I would be okay at least for a few weeks.
aww, lol about him worried about the weed wacker...at least he's protective of you!
