Is my baby safe with my occupation?

[NewMamaToBe]

I am 10 weeks pregnant and do housekeeping for a living. After about 3-4 hours of cleaning (mostly vacuuming, mopping, dusting, cleaning bathrooms) I get pelvic pain. It is not severe and doesn't last long (maybe two hours) but I feel it almost daily. Am I hurting my baby or myself? What is the pain from and is my baby at risk? I use organic cleaning products so just worry about the physical part since I feel the pain afterwards.

Those chemicals aren't good. I would just REALLY protect myself w. A mask & gloves etc.

I personally dont think its a good idea speaking from experience. I was doing house keeping when i was pregnant & didnt know & it made me very sick, the.chemicals, it gave me body aches & had me feeling drained. Housekeeping is hard work. I dont think its a good idea. But if thats your income i know its hard to let go lol cause when i did find out i was pregant i was thinking omg i cant do this, how am i gonna get paid etc. but thank god i got moved to customer service. Just be careful

Pelvic pain is very normal during pregnancy and will probably get worse at some point. Ur uterus and the ligaments that support it are growing and thickening (by alot) that in addition to more fluids inur body may be compressing nerves and ur body produces hormones that relax ur joints in preparation for birth that can cause pain. Always try to use good form for whatever ur doin and as u get bigger a maternity belt may help ask ur doc cuz insurance may pay for one
