Which household chores should you avoid in pregnancy?

Here are 5 household chores you should avoid during pregnancy to protect your baby:

- Moving furniture or carrying heavy objects: this increases pressure on your spine and bump. Lifting incorrectly can throw you off balance and make you fall, which can affect both you and your baby.

- Tasks that involve standing for a long time: avoid chores that require standing for long periods. Standing upright for too long puts pressure on your legs, leading to swelling and back pain.

- Activities that involve bending over: bending during this time can put your sciatic nerve at risk. It can cause back pain and strained back muscles, put pressure on your baby and make you dizzy.

- Chores that involve climbing: during pregnancy your balance gets worse, so you may fall if you do risky chores that require climbing or standing on tiptoe.

- Chores that involve chemicals: limit your use of chemicals found in some bleaches, mosquito sprays,… They can affect both your health and your baby's and cause complications during pregnancy.

Momby wishes you good health throughout your pregnancy!
