Just wondering.....28 weeks this week and think I over did it this weekend doing spring yard work, raking and house cleaning.... I'm exhausted, just wondering if I should not be doing this type of stuff at 28 weeks pregnant ? My husband is studying for big test and can't do it all - if I don't do it it won't get done ! Am I crazy ? Or are other girls forgoing these activities.... Among other housework....

And I clean, do yard work, shower thevlittle ones, clean, laundry, rake, cut grass and we live in AZ where itb is already in the 100's.
It is life, it is normal and unless you want to live in a house that looks like something thst came of a season of hoarders, ..... it has to be done. Pregnant just means your family is getting bigger andbthere will be more to do. It however doesnt mean we get to sit and do nothing as great as that would be!!
Take breaks, drink water, spread it all out, but yes you still can and should do the same things you did before for the most part, unless your dr tells you your putting baby at risk.
I normally have a lay down and it normally eases up.
Ultimately the docs are wanting me to hang in until at least 30 weeks. Nothing is more important than my child but sometimes I just can't not get up and clean. My husband is a real mess maker and I actually can't stand it.
The house is falling to pieces but he's about to take a week off work to get it in order before bub comes... Because it's just bit bub friendly at the moment.
It's clean enough... But we still have boxes and piles of things around the house from when we moved in - in February.

Division of labor In a household is different for everybody and being pregnant can change those dynamics. We shouldn't judge each other for doing more or less of the work around the house. The only people we are accountable to regarding house work are our families.
That being said, maybe we should have had some kind of warning you wanted us to blow smoke up your ass, and tell you to spend the remainder of your pregnancy sitting around doing nothing. Since, this post started off nice, then you had to get snarky about it, that gives us a clue into exactly what kind of pregnant woman you are. Especially after you commented you hoped it would be a free pass. Find yourself a FTM board, you will have better luck finding women who will tell you it's cool to be lazy
I have learnt to prioritise - there's things that need to be done immediately and others that can wait a day or two if need be.
Once you have kids the work just multiplies - they make so much more mess! And they need you all the time- there's no resting on the couch like my first pregnancy. (So enjoy that this time around- u won't get it next time)
My son always has an accident on my carpet when I'm totally exhausted lol but, that's being a mom.
