Ugg not disabled...vent

Being pregnant does not mean I am disabled....grr. My mother in law has put her foot in her mouth so many times already and now won't let me help move stuff around the house 'cause i shouldnt be lifting that since im pregnant, something might happen to the baby'. Well gee, since i lift weights/ work out and have been cleared by my doc to continue work I'm a nurse and lift people all day long I think I can help out moving stuff around the house. I am not gonna come over and sit inside on a nice day and do nothing because she wont let me help. / end rant

    LoL.  Maybe I am lazy.  But, when people say "Here let me do that! You are pregnant"  I'm like go right on ahead.  Especially at work.

    Lol I have had no one say that! But then again I'm not working for the summer and my husbands family is very much like have the baby then get back out on the fields types of people lol In fact I have felt a little awkward not carrying furniture or today I was cleaning out the closet and bending a lot was hurting me so I had to have my husband take over the bottom shelf. He didn't mind but he's definitely never said anything like you shouldn't do that. I probably would find it annoying but I see the flip side of it lol

    I feel the same way sometimes, but I know that my fam is just concerned.

    Yes, I get very annoyed when people say this to me. I'm trying to enjoy it instead. But still, I keep thinking, I'm not sick, I'm pregnant.

    Yep! I was just thinking the other day this night be my UO this week because I think you should take it easy when you can. I come from a family of women, so there are not men offering to move furniture and stuff for us generally and we manage just fine. But since BFP it has been nice to take it easy when people offer. I lift at work and I'm up and down off the floor all day, so it's nice when I don't have to at home.

    What really bothers me is when people act like they can't do any manual labor just because they are women, non preggos that is. I have several friends whose husbands will have a buddy come by to help him rearrange the living room, or move a couch into the garage or something. Seriously?

    The only thing that's been a little annoying for me is my mom is recovering from knee surgery and she wants to baby me. So basically we keep arguing over who is more deserving of help, each of us trying to help the other!

    I think I go both ways on this depending on how I'm feeling.  Some days when I am exhausted and feel like poo it's nice, but a lot of times I feel like I don't want to use up all of the favors now for down the road when I'm super pregnant or right after baby!
