House Cleaning Can I

Is it safe? - June 5

I do house cleaning for a living and I am TTC. I was wondering if it is a safe enough job to do while PG. I'm sure the first few months would be fine, but sometimes there is alot of moving furniture to get behind it, alot of bending down, and I'm on my hands and knees alot scrubbing floors.

I did a lot of physical work up to 7 months of pregnancy. I noticed near the last few months that I had a lot of high blood pressure. I worked untill I couldn't walk and bend and got a doctors note. I think that lifting and bending down a lot is not a safe idea and I think you should listen to your body and tell your doctor how your coping when doing these things.

I agree that after awhile getting up and down might not be a good idea. But another thing to think about is the constand use of cleaning chemicals. Some cleaners could be very dangerous- like Tilex. If you work as a team with something, ask them if you can handle more of the dusting and vacc_ming.

Sometimes the doctor will tell you not to vacuum, especially if you've had any spotting.
