I still garden and am in my 35th week. Just go slow and don't do any heavy lifting. I find that some days my belly is too sore to handle the bending required for weeding. On those days I just sit in my garden a lot :-)

go buy a box of latex gloves, or wear some garden gloves when weeding. try not to go barefoot, wear flip flops at least, an don't bend at the waist, squat. And be easy on your back. Gardening really is a "different" kind of workout! best wishes

Thanks guys for your advice!

Please DO wear gloves, just in case some kitty decided your garden makes a nice litter box. Outdoor kitties are more likely to be hunters and carriers of toxoplasmosis.

i'm 38 weeks and i still garden. Wear gloves, take it slow, and if it's hot drink plenty of water and don't over do it.

Ditto to what Jen and M said and wear gloves! We just bought our house in mid October so this spring I have been planting lots, even mowing the lawn!I look at it as staying active and getting exercise!
